Can I use OpenAI instead of Ollama for embeddings?

Yes, you can customize the generated config.yaml to use OpenAI as the provider by specifying the model (e.g., text-embedding-3-small) and providing your API key.

What files does the GrepAI initialization create?

It creates a .grepai/ directory containing config.yaml for project settings, along with index.gob and symbols.gob which store the vector and symbol data created during indexing.

How do I re-initialize a project if my configuration is corrupted?

You can reset the project by deleting the .grepai directory and running the 'grepai init' command again, though this will require a full re-index of your code.

Should I add the .grepai directory to my .gitignore?

Yes, it is a recommended best practice to add .grepai/ to your .gitignore file because the indices are machine-specific and can be regenerated using the config file.

Developer Tools

Initializes and configures GrepAI projects for advanced semantic code search and call graph analysis.

GrepAI Project Initializer automates the setup of GrepAI within your codebase, creating the necessary directory structure and configuration files for semantic search. It generates a comprehensive config.yaml that manages embedding providers like Ollama or OpenAI, defines chunking strategies, and sets up ignore patterns for cleaner indexing. This skill is essential for developers looking to implement deep code understanding and navigation capabilities, ensuring that local vector indices and symbol graphs are correctly initialized for a wide range of programming languages.
