Repochat

Repochat is a local-first "chat with your repo" starter app. It indexes text files from a selected repository folder, scores files against a question, and returns ranked code snippets to accelerate exploration.

Features

• React + Vite + TypeScript app
• Light-first neutral theme with dark mode fallback
• Local folder indexing (webkitdirectory) for text-like files
• Keyword-based retrieval with ranked snippets
• Optional LLM synthesis using OpenAI-compatible Responses API
• Session-only API key storage by default (with optional local persistence)
• Unit + component tests (Vitest + React Testing Library)
• CI workflow for typecheck, test, and build

Quick start

npm install
npm run dev

Scripts

• npm run dev - start Vite dev server
• npm run test - run test suite
• npm run typecheck - run TypeScript checks
• npm run build - build production bundle

Notes

• Retrieval stays local and deterministic.
• LLM answering is optional and uses your own API key + model + base URL from the settings panel.
• Session-only API key storage is the default mode for safer local use.
