CodeSearch AI

CodeSearch AI is a powerful tool that allows you to search and interact with your codebase through a web interface.

Installation

1. Create and activate a virtual environment:

python -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate  # On Unix/macOS
# or
.venv\Scripts\activate  # On Windows

2. Install the required dependencies:

pip install -r requirements.txt

Running the Web Server Locally

There are two ways to run CodeSearch AI:

1. Running Directly from Source

python codesearch_ai/main.py

This will start the web server at http://localhost:8000/codesearch and automatically open it in your default browser.

2. Running as an Executable

First, build the executable:

# Clean any previous builds
rm -rf build dist
# Build the executable
pyinstaller --clean codesearch_ai.spec

Then run the executable:

./dist/codesearch_ai

The web interface will be available at http://localhost:8000/codesearch

Usage

1. Open your web browser and navigate to http://localhost:8000/codesearch
2. Select a directory to analyze through the web interface
3. Start searching and interacting with your codebase

Command Line Interface

When running with command-line arguments, CodeSearch AI provides additional functionality:

# Show help
./dist/codesearch_ai --help

# Start with specific directories
./dist/codesearch_ai start -d /path/to/dir1 /path/to/dir2

# Ignore specific paths
./dist/codesearch_ai start -i "node_modules/*" "*.pyc"

Development

To modify and rebuild the executable:

1. Make your changes to the source code
2. Update dependencies in requirements.txt if needed
3. Rebuild the executable using the commands in the "Running as an Executable" section

Version Control

• The .venv directory (virtual environment) is excluded from version control via .gitignore
• Also excluded are Python cache files, build artifacts, and IDE-specific files
• When cloning the repository, you'll need to create a new virtual environment and install dependencies as described in the Installation section

Complete Reinstallation

If you need to completely clear and reinstall CodeSearch AI, follow these steps:

1. Uninstall existing packages:

pip uninstall dir-assistant codesearch-ai -y

2. Remove the configuration and models:

rm -rf ~/.local/share/codesearch_ai
rm -rf ~/.local/share/dir-assistant  # If you had dir-assistant installed

3. Clean any previous builds:

rm -rf build dist *.egg-info

4. Reinstall from source:

pip install -e .

5. Download the required models:

codesearch-ai models download-llm
codesearch-ai models download-embed
