Does the GitHub connector imply ability to ask questions of an entire code base, such as: “help me write an endpoint to style of our codebase.”

I believe there are a variety of projects focused on that problem but would be good to latch onto one that handles and integrates externalities.

Speaking of which I did not see sentry in the list of connections or mentioned in an issue. Any plans there?

Code search is something we have in our sights in the next couple months. Currently the GitHub connector pulls in PRs and Issues but not the whole code base. We wanted to have the best RAG pipeline so we deep dived on that. Code search uses a combination of graph based traversals and a different type of embedding so it's a separate effort, but we will definitely build it out since it's immensely useful to engineering teams!

I would hope you just partner with the open source Bloop AI for that :)

Ah thanks for pointing it out, it look like an awesome project! We love open source so it's nice to see others going this direction as well

So the intent of the GitHub/GitLab connector in the current iteration is to help people easily find implementations that have been done before. For example, if a new bug comes up with some feature, I can easily search for the PRs relating to that feature in natural language and filter down the code changes that may have caused it.
