Show HN: Repo2Vec – Open-Source Library for Chatting with Your Codebase

[mise1]

repo2vec is a simple-to-use, modular library enabling you to chat with any public or private codebase.

We built this because sometimes you just want to learn how a codebase works and how to integrate it, without spending hours sifting through the code itself.

repo2vec is like Github Copilot but with the most up-to-date information about your repo.

With two scripts, you can index your repository and spin up a UI with a functional chat interface.

We would love your feedback!

Since you didn't include the link I went ahead and searched for it. Is this it? https://github.com/Storia-AI/repo2vec

There's been a lot of "chat with your x" projects and the value prop always eludes me.

To use the example in the repo, if I want to know what image encoders are supported, I would do a repository search for the "Encoder" keyword to find where they're defined. Then I'd be able to see all the encoders that are supported. That takes me about 10 seconds - why would I want to use a chatbot to do this instead?

Seems interesting, is it hosted somewhere. Not the repo but the app. I think there can be some interesting use cases from this.
