Hi HN, We're excited to share repo2vec: a simple-to-use, modular library enabling you to chat with any public or private codebase. It's like Github Copilot but with the most up-to-date information about your repo. We made this because sometimes you just want to learn how a codebase works and how to integrate it, without spending hours sifting through the code itself. We tried to make it dead-simple to use. With two scripts, you can index and get a functional interface for your repo. Every generated response shows where in the code the context for the answer was pulled from. We also made it…

Hi HN, Package repositories don't need to be complicated. They're just static files: metadata indexes and the packages themselves. Yet somehow hosting your own feels like you need dedicated infrastructure and deep knowledge of obscure tooling. repogen is an SSG for package repos. Point it at your .deb/.rpm/.apk files, it generates the static structure, you upload to S3 or any web host. Done. $0.02/month to host packages for your whole team. It supports Debian, RPM, Alpine, Pacman, and Homebrew. Has incremental mode for updating repos without redownloading everything. Handles…

pgxman is npm for Postgres extensions, simplifying the discovery and use of extensions so you can easily enhance your applications. Installing and updating Postgres extensions is an uphill battle. You're left searching for the right build tools and grappling with often unclear and incomplete compiling instructions to even try one out. But with pgxman, we've streamlined the process to one simple step: pgxman install [extension name]. For example, to build parquet_s3_fdw manually, you'd need to: 1. Download the parquet_s3_fdw source code; 2. Figure out how to build it by looking at README.…

Hey HN, I wanted to share a simple command line tool I made that has sped up and simplified my LLM assisted coding workflow. Whenever possible, I’ve been trying to use Claude as a first pass when implementing new features / changes. But I found that depending on the type of change I was making, I was spending a lot of thought finding and deciding which source files should be included in the prompt. The need to copy/paste each file individually also becomes a mild annoyance. First, I implemented `repogather --all` , which unintelligently copies all sources files in your repository…

RepoSweeper▲57I built this in 2018 as a school project to bulk delete GitHub repos. It got 25k views on Medium and ~10k users organically, then I basically ignored it for years. Recently I dug into GitHub's community discussion board and some low hanging fruit for feature additions — archive, visibility changes, collaborator cleanup. GitHub's answer was always "use the API." So I built the UI. RepoSweeper now does: - Bulk archive / unarchive - Bulk visibility (public ↔ private) - Bulk collaborator add/remove - Staleness scoring so you know what to act on first - Handles 100+ repos with…

Howdy all. I'm Zack :wave:. I've been thinking about the problem of misguided AI pull requests and figured I'd throw a possible solution out there for feedback. Basically, CleverCrow lets supporters give tokens to a GitHub repo (or set of issues in that repo) for the maintainers to use to build/fix stuff. The fun implementation challenges have been around implementing the pooling dynamics and keeping the maintainers in charge while the backers are motivated to support their work.
