CodebaseChat

CodebaseChat is a handy tool that lets you set up a GPT chatbot for any GitHub repository quickly and easily.

Developed by Context AI, CodebaseChat is designed to work seamlessly with all major programming languages. The way it works is pretty neat: it clones and crawls your GitHub repository to create an indexed file. This file can then be uploaded to OpenAI's GPTs or Assistants, solving the common issue of file limits in retrieval features, which can only manage 20 files at a time.

To get the most out of this tool, you'll find helpful prompts suggested to guide you in using the indexed file effectively. For instance, you might instruct the GPT to better understand what’s inside your codebase. This guidance helps ensure that the chatbot gives you the information you need.

Another great aspect of CodebaseChat is that it’s an open-source platform. This means that anyone can contribute by making code modifications or enhancements, helping to improve the tool for everyone. Plus, if you don’t have ChatGPT Plus, you can still take advantage of the tool by uploading your repository file to the OpenAI Assistants Playground and using it with the free tier of the GPT API. This makes it easier for you to ask questions about your GitHub repository.

However, do keep in mind that right now, CodebaseChat doesn’t support private GitHub repositories. If you have suggestions or ideas for future features, there’s a form available for you to submit your requests, which shows how much they value user input.
