Key Components

1. Local LLM Integration

• Integrated Hugging Face Qwen/Qwen2.5-Coder-7B model
• Automatic download and caching in ./models/
• Full offline capability after initial setup
• CPU and GPU support with automatic detection
• Optimized for code understanding and generation

2. Automatic Fallback Strategy

• Primary: Local Hugging Face model
• Fallback: Google Gemini (gemini-2.5-flash)
• Transparent automatic switching on failure
• No user configuration required

3. Repository Persistence

• Created repo_manager.py module
• Stores current repository URL in data/source_repo.txt
• Automatic repository change detection
• Smart cleanup of old data on URL change
• Prevents stale embeddings and contamination

4. Docker Configuration

• Updated port from 5000 to 5001
• Added proper CMD directive
• Included all required dependencies
• Single-command deployment ready

• ✅ Application builds successfully with Docker
• ✅ Application runs using only docker run
• ✅ No manual dependency installation required
• ✅ Local model runs fully offline after first download
• ✅ Gemini used only as automatic fallback
• ✅ Repository URL persists across runs
• ✅ Repository change triggers full cleanup and reclone
• ✅ Web UI accessible at http://localhost:5001
• ✅ No regression in existing RAG, search, or UI functionality

Deployment

Docker (Recommended)

docker build -t getgit .
docker run -p 5001:5001 getgit
