CodeBaseBuddy

Raghavan

Tool Name: CodeBaseBuddy with Codestral
Key Features:
  - Privacy-preserving: Locally deployable, ensuring all operations remain on the user's machine.
  - Semantic Code Search: Utilizes advanced techniques for precise and relevant code search results.
  - Accelerated Onboarding: Quickly brings new contributors up to speed with any codebase.
  - Error Reduction: Provides specific guidance to minimize mistakes and prevent bugs.
  - Enhanced Engagement: Encourages contributions from those hesitant due to unfamiliarity with the codebase.
  - Continuous Learning: Helps both newcomers and experienced developers discover and learn about lesser-known parts of the codebase.

- Technical Implementation:
  - **Vector Indexing**: Builds an annoy vector index by generating embeddings for every file in the repository.
  - **Query Processing**: Utilizes Annoy for efficient querying of the vector index.
  - **Guidance Generation**: Leverages locally deployed Codestral to provide step-by-step instructions based on user queries.
- Original Contributions:
  - Local LLMs for Semantic Code Search: Uses Ollama's local large language models for running and managing models on a user's laptop.
