Hey team.

I have a question about indexing and embedding projects.

  1. Is having the project under git and uploaded to public a mandatory part? Is it not possible to do embedding locally, for example via transformers.js?

  2. If embedding has started, how do I stop it and restart it? Let’s say I made changes to the .cody/ignore file - embedding that has already started will not get changed, no matter how many times I restart vscode.

  3. Is it .cody/ignore or .codyignore?

  4. How about .cody/ignore to be able to exclude some files or folders from ignore?
    (Exclude some folder / files from `.cody/ignore`)

Hello @wellmorq sorry for the delay. Did this resolve? Are your questions answered?

I have the same question.
I’ve been evaluating Cody and am using a local copy of code, without a repo. Cody seems to have zero context of anything outside of the open file.
Can I run a local index somehow?
Am I doing something wrong?
Is this just an oversight in how it works?
I can’t justify rolling this out to my teams if I can’t see it working better than cutting and pasting directly into an LLM…

Hello @ryancrepo

For Cody to work properly, you need to initialize a git repo within your project and assign a remote repo.
After that, the automatic indexing should start and Cody is able to comprehend your codebase.

I hope that helps.
