FAQPage Schema

How do I index a git repository for faster codebase analysis?▼

Indexing a git repository for faster codebase analysis involves using jcodemunch to parse the AST. This enables precise symbol lookup, project structure visualization, and incremental updates as you work.

What is AST-aware code navigation and how does it help find symbols?▼

AST-aware code navigation uses jcodemunch to parse your codebase's abstract syntax tree, allowing you to accurately find classes, methods, and symbols. It provides precise structural context rather than relying on basic text searches.

Do I need git installed to index my project structure for code search?▼

Yes, you need git installed to index your project structure. The indexing process requires git to identify the repository root directory, and jcodemunch is used to build the actual code search index.

Can I get AI-generated summaries for code symbols during codebase indexing?▼

Yes, you can enable an option during codebase indexing to generate AI summaries for code symbols. This provides richer context and descriptions for classes and methods found within your indexed repository.

How does incremental indexing keep code navigation accurate without manual updates?▼

Incremental indexing automatically updates the code navigation index as you work. This ensures your search results and symbol lookups remain accurate without requiring manual re-indexing every time you modify a file.
