What is GOB storage in GrepAI?

GOB is Go's native binary serialization format. GrepAI uses it as the default, simplest storage backend to store vector embeddings, file metadata, and chunk information in a single local file.

How can I check the status of my local GOB index?

You can run the 'grepai status' command to see the index location, the number of files and chunks indexed, total file size, and the last update timestamp.

Is GOB storage suitable for large codebases?

GOB is recommended for codebases up to approximately 10,000 files. For very large projects or concurrent team access, migrating to PostgreSQL or Qdrant is advised.

Do I need to install an external database to use this skill?

No, GOB storage works immediately out of the box without any external dependencies or infrastructure costs, making it ideal for local development.

Should I commit the .grepai directory to my Git repository?

No, you should add .grepai/ to your .gitignore because the index is machine-specific, contains binary embeddings, and is tied to the specific embedding model used locally.

Configures local Go Binary (GOB) storage for GrepAI to manage vector embeddings and code metadata without external dependencies.

This skill enables simple, single-machine storage for GrepAI using Go's native binary serialization format (GOB). It is designed for developers working on small to medium-sized codebases who need a fast, portable, and private way to store semantic search indexes and call graphs locally. By eliminating the need for external databases like PostgreSQL or Qdrant, it streamlines the setup process for local development environments while providing efficient search performance and easy backup capabilities.
