CodebaseChat

CodebaseChat is a free and open-source tool that allows users to create an OpenAI GPT with knowledge about any GitHub repository. By providing a GitHub repository URL, CodebaseChat crawls the repo and generates an index file that can be uploaded to OpenAI to create a custom codebase GPT.

1. Enter your GitHub repository URL on the CodebaseChat website. 2. Provide your email address to receive the generated index file. 3. Upload the received repo.md file to OpenAI to create your custom codebase GPT.

CodebaseChat clones and crawls your repo to create a file that you can upload to OpenAI's new GPTs or Assistants. OpenAI GPTs and Assistants currently have a 20 file limit when using the retrieval features, so for now you need to upload a single indexed file to allow them to operate over large amounts of data.

We recommend using a prompt that tells the GPT about the contents of your codebase. For example, at Context.ai we use the following prompt in our GPT: You are a code assistant for the Git repo of Context AI. Context AI is a startup that is building product analytics software for natural language interfaces where users are interacting with LLMs. The product ingests transcripts of its customers, then provides analytics about those interactions, such as topics, sentiment analysis, languages spoken and more. The contents of the codebase are stored in repo.md, with the contents of each file under a new Markdown header.

Yes! CodebaseChat is open-source and we welcome contributions. You can find the repo here.

Yes, you can instead upload the repo file in the OpenAI Assistants Playground and ask questions of your repo with the GPT API free tier.

We don't yet support private repos. Contact us here if you'd like to be notified when we launch this.
