How to use AskTheCode GPT?
Using the AskTheCode GPT involves several specific flows, each designed to assist you in interacting with GitHub repositories. Here's a quick guide on how to use each flow:
Repository Structure Query Flow:
- Use this when you need information about a GitHub repository's structure or specific details within it.
- It begins with querying the repository to obtain its structure and may require multiple queries for larger repositories.
- After ascertaining the structure, the flow proceeds to query for the contents of relevant files.
Search Flow:
- This is used to find specific elements within GitHub repositories, such as code, commits, issues, or entire repositories.
- It includes searches for specific programming constructs within a repository, finding specific commits, locating specific issues, or finding GitHub repositories based on your keywords.
GitHub Commit Analysis Flow:
- Engage this flow for an overview of specific commits and the changes they include in a repository.
- It provides a summary of the commit's contents and details modifications, additions, or deletions introduced by the commit.
File Commit History Analysis Flow:
- Use this to gain insights into the version history of a specific file within a GitHub repository.
- It involves retrieving the file commit history and presenting it, with the option to delve deeper into specific commits.
GitHub Issues Flow:
- This flow is for when you need information about GitHub issues or need to interact with them (like posting a comment).
- It can retrieve details about a particular issue and allows you to post a comment on a GitHub issue.
Remember, each flow is designed to be user-friendly and efficient, providing precise information based on your queries. If you have a specific request or need assistance with a GitHub repository, feel free to ask, and I'll guide you through the appropriate flow!
