Locally796

Locally796 is an AI-powered CLI tool that automatically clones any GitHub repository and sets it up on your local machine — no manual configuration needed. Powered by a LangChain agent, it detects the project stack, installs dependencies, configures environment variables, and runs the project for you.

Features

• 🤖 AI-Driven Setup — A LangChain agent acts as a senior DevOps engineer, analysing the repository, running the right install commands, and resolving errors automatically.
• 🔍 Stack Detection — Automatically identifies the project stack (Node.js, Python, Go, etc.) and applies the appropriate setup steps.
• ⚙️ Dependency Installation — Runs npm install, pip install -r requirements.txt, go mod tidy, and similar commands as needed.
• 🌿 Environment Configuration — Detects .env.example files and sets up environment variables for you.
• 🚀 Project Launch — Starts the project after setup and confirms it is running.
• 📦 pip Package — Distributed as a Python package, so you can install and use it anywhere with a single command.

Requirements

• Python 3.11 or higher
• A Groq API key to power the AI agent.

Installation

You can install locally796 globally using pip:

pip install locally796

(Alternatively, to install from source: clone this repo and run pip install -e . inside the folder.)

Setup Your API Key

Before using locally796 for the first time, you need to configure your Groq API key. The agent defaults to llama-3.3-70b-versatile, which is available for any standard Groq account.

locally796 set-key <YOUR_GROQ_API_KEY>

This securely saves your key in a global config file (~/.locally796/.env), meaning you can run the tool from anywhere on your system without having to set up .env files manually.

Usage

locally796 [GITHUB_REPO_URL] --path [CLONING_PATH]

Arguments

Example

locally796 https://github.com/prathmesh796/pubsubs --path ./test-clone

This single command will autonomously:

1. Clone the repository into ./test-clone
2. Detect the technology stack (e.g. Node.js, Python)
3. Launch the LangChain Agent to investigate the codebase.
4. Install all required dependencies (npm install, pip install, etc.)
5. Configure environment variables (if .env.example is present)
6. Start the local development server (e.g., npm run dev)
7. Automatically detect and fix any deployment errors if the server fails to start!

How It Works

1. Clone — The repo is cloned to the specified (or auto-generated) local path using GitPython.
2. Detect — The stack detector inspects the repository files to identify languages and frameworks.
3. Agent Setup — A LangChain agent equipped with shell, file-read, and file-write tools executes the full setup autonomously. If a command fails or crashes, the agent reads the error output, figures out the fix, and retries until success!
4. Done — The agent reports SETUP_COMPLETE and leaves the server running for you.
