This project allows you to interact directly with a GitHub repository and leverage semantic search to understand the codebase. You'll learn how to ask specific questions about the repository's code and receive meaningful, context-aware responses. You can follow the GitHub code here.
Key Considerations:
- Quality of Data: The output is only as good as the input—ensure your data is clean and well-structured.
- Chunk Size: Proper chunking of data is crucial for optimal performance.
- Performance Evaluation: Regularly assess the performance of your RAG-based application.
Components
- Elasticsearch: Serves as the vector database for efficient storage and retrieval of embeddings.
- LlamaIndex: A framework for building applications powered by LLM.
- OpenAI: Used for both the LLM and generating embeddings.
Architecture
Ingestion
The process starts by cloning a GitHub repository locally to the /tmp directory. The SimpleDirectoryReader is then used to load the cloned repository for indexing, the documents are split into chunks based on file type, utilizing CodeSplitter for code files, along with JSON, Markdown, and SentenceSplitters for other formats, see:
def parse_documents():
owner = os.getenv('GITHUB_OWNER')
repo = os.getenv('GITHUB_REPO')
branch = os.getenv('GITHUB_BRANCH')
base_path = os.getenv('BASE_PATH', "/tmp")
if not owner or not repo:
raise ValueError("GITHUB_OWNER and GITHUB_REPO environment variables must be set.")
local_repo_path = clone_repository(owner, repo, branch, base_path)
nodes = []
file_summary = []
ts_parser = get_parser('typescript')
py_parser = get_parser('python')
go_parser = get_parser('go')
js_parser = get_parser('javascript')
bash_parser = get_parser('bash')
yaml_parser = get_parser('yaml')
parsers_and_extensions = [
(SentenceSplitter(), [".md"]),
(CodeSplitter(language='python', parser=py_parser), [".py", ".ipynb"]),
(CodeSplitter(language='typescript', parser=ts_parser), [".ts"]),
(CodeSplitter(language='go', parser=go_parser), [".go"]),
(CodeSplitter(language='javascript', parser=js_parser), [".js"]),
(CodeSplitter(language='bash', parser=bash_parser), [".bash", ",sh"]),
(CodeSplitter(language='yaml', parser=yaml_parser), [".yaml", ".yml"]),
(JSONNodeParser(), [".json"]),
]
for parser, extensions in parsers_and_extensions:
matching_files = []
for ext in extensions:
matching_files.extend(glob.glob(f"{local_repo_path}/**/*{ext}", recursive=True))
if len(matching_files) > 0:
file_summary.append(f"Found {len(matching_files)} {', '.join(extensions)} files in the repository.")
loader = SimpleDirectoryReader(input_dir=local_repo_path, required_exts=extensions, recursive=True)
docs = loader.load_data()
parsed_nodes = parser.get_nodes_from_documents(docs)
print_docs_and_nodes(docs, parsed_nodes)
nodes.extend(parsed_nodes)
else:
file_summary.append(f"No {', '.join(extensions)} files found in the repository.")
collect_and_print_file_summary(file_summary)
print("\n")
return nodesIf you want to add more support language into this code, you can just add a new parser and extension to the parsers_and_extensions list. After parsing the nodes, embeddings are generated using the text-embedding-3-large model and stored in Elasticsearch. The embedding model is declared using the Setting bundle, which a global variable:
Settings.embed_model = OpenAIEmbedding(model="text-embedding-3-large")This is then utilized in the main function as part of the Ingest Pipeline. Since it's a global variable, there's no need to call it again during the ingestion process:
nodes = parse_documents()
es_vector_store = get_es_vector_store()
try:
pipeline = IngestionPipeline(
vector_store=es_vector_store,
)
pipeline.run(documents=nodes, show_progress=True)The code block above starts by parsing the documents into smaller chunks (nodes) and then initializes a connection to Elasticsearch. The IngestionPipeline is created with the specified Elasticsearch vector store, and the pipeline is executed to process the nodes and store their embeddings in Elasticsearch, while displaying the progress during the process. At this point we should have your data indexed in Elasticsearch with the embeddings generated and stored. Below is one example of how the document looks like in ESS:

}Query
Once the data is indexed, you can query the Elasticsearch index to ask questions about the codebase. The query.py script allows you to interact with the indexed data and ask questions about the codebase. It retrieves a query input from the user, creates an embedding using the same OpenAIEmbedding model used in the index.py, and sets up a query engine with the VectorStoreIndex loaded from the Elasticsearch vector store. The query engine uses similarity search, retrieving the top 3 most relevant documents based on the query's similarity to the stored embeddings. The results are summarized in a tree-like format using response_mode="tree_summarize", you can see the code snippet below:
query = input("Please enter your query: ")
openai_llm = OpenAI(model="gpt-4o")
es_vector_store = get_es_vector_store()
index = VectorStoreIndex.from_vector_store(es_vector_store)
try:
query_engine = index.as_query_engine(
llm=openai_llm,
similarity_top_k=3,
streaming=False,
response_mode="tree_summarize"
)
bundle = QueryBundle(query, embedding=embed_model.get_query_embedding(query))
result = query_engine.query(bundle)
return result.responseInstallation

Evaluation
The evaluation.py code processes documents, generates evaluation questions based on the content, and then evaluates the responses for relevancy (Whether the response is relevant to the question) and faithfulness (Whether the response is faithful to the source content) using a LLM. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to use the code:
python evaluation.py --num_documents 5 --skip_documents 2 --num_questions 3 --skip_questions 1 --process_last_questionsYou can run the code without any parameters, but the example above demonstrates how to use the parameters. Here's a breakdown of what each parameter does:
Document Processing:
- --num_documents 5: The script will process a total of 5 documents.
- --skip_documents 2: The first 2 documents will be skipped, and the script will start processing from the 3rd document onward. So, it will process documents 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7.
Question Generation:
After loading the documents, the script will generate a list of questions based on the content of these documents.
- --num_questions 3: Out of the generated questions, only 3 will be processed.
- --skip_questions 1: The script will skip the first question in the list and process questions starting from the 2nd question.
- --process_last_questions: Instead of processing the first 3 questions after skipping the first one, the script will take the last 3 questions in the list.
