What's New

Ollama as Default Embedding Provider - CV-Git now uses local embeddings by default, eliminating the need for cloud API keys for semantic search.

Features

  • 🦙 Ollama Integration: Local embedding generation using nomic-embed-text model (768 dimensions)
  • 🐳 Docker Support: Auto-starts Ollama container on cv init and cv sync
  • 🔄 Automatic Fallback: Falls back to OpenRouter/OpenAI if Ollama unavailable
  • 🩺 Health Checks: cv doctor now shows Ollama status and model availability

Changes

  • Default embedding provider changed from openrouter to ollama
  • Added ensureOllama() infrastructure for Docker container management
  • Updated cv init, cv sync, and cv find to use Ollama-first approach
  • Fixed VectorManager to properly respect Ollama configuration
  • Added text truncation (500 chars) to prevent Ollama batch size issues

Benefits

  • Zero API costs for embeddings
  • Offline capable semantic search
  • Faster local embedding generation
  • Privacy - code never leaves your machine

Installation

Quick Install (recommended):

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/controlVector/cv-git/main/install.sh | bash

npm:

npm install -g @controlvector/cv-git

Debian/Ubuntu:

wget https://github.com/controlVector/cv-git/releases/download/v0.4.18/cv-git_0.4.18_amd64.deb
sudo dpkg -i cv-git_*.deb

Getting Started

cv doctor    # Check system status (shows Ollama health)
cv init      # Initialize repo (auto-starts Ollama)
cv sync      # Build knowledge graph with local embeddings
cv find "authentication logic"  # Search locally

Requires Docker for Ollama container, or configure cloud providers as fallback.
