Cody AI Repo Context is not helpful

Hello I’ve installed Cody AI and I can see that it does some indexing after initialization and then in the chat window by default you have the current repo added as an additional context.

I have Django project with venv folder (contains all dependencies and added to .gitignore) and the problem I have is that repo context is totally useless for me right now because when I ask questions about the actual repo files, as context it retrieves bunch of files from dependencies folder which are irrelevant for the questions, so each time I have to remove default repo context and manually add files I’m interested in.

Can I improve current repo context retrieval, or at least disable it as default additional context when new chat is opened?

Hello @nrezvoi

Cody has its own context filter mechanism.
You can read more about it here: Manage Cody Context - Sourcegraph docs

If you have further questions then go ahead.
