FAQPage Schema

How do I index a codebase to build a knowledge graph from the command line?▼

To index a codebase and build a knowledge graph, run the GitNexus CLI from your project root via npx. This requires no global installation and writes the resulting graph output directly to the .gitnexus/ directory.

Can I generate AI context files like CLAUDE.md without globally installing a CLI?▼

Yes, you can generate CLAUDE.md and AGENTS.md context files without global installs by running GitNexus CLI commands with npx. This approach supports AI workflows by providing contextual guidance directly from your indexed repository.

What commands are available to manage a repository knowledge graph?▼

Available commands to manage a repository knowledge graph include analyze, status, clean, wiki, and list. These are executed via npx to control reindexing, generate embeddings, and refresh the .gitnexus/ output.

Do I need a global installation to refresh the repository knowledge graph?▼

No global installation is needed to refresh the repository knowledge graph. GitNexus CLI leverages npx to execute commands directly from the project root, allowing you to keep your index current with zero setup overhead.

How does npx execute GitNexus commands for codebase analysis?▼

npx executes GitNexus commands for codebase analysis by running them directly from the project root without requiring a global install. This mechanism builds the knowledge graph and generates contextual files while offering options to control reindexing and embeddings.

When should I clean or reindex a repository knowledge graph?▼

You should clean or reindex a repository knowledge graph when you need to update the .gitnexus/ output after significant codebase changes. Using the clean and analyze commands via npx ensures your index stays current and your context files remain accurate.
