Usage

Here's a simple example of how to use llama-github:

from llama_github import GithubRAG

# Initialize GithubRAG with your credentials
github_rag = GithubRAG(
    github_access_token="your_github_access_token", 
    openai_api_key="your_openai_api_key", # Optional in Simple Mode
    jina_api_key="your_jina_api_key" # Optional - unless you want high concurrency production deployment (s.jina.ai API will be used in llama-github)
)

# Retrieve context for a coding question (simple_mode is default set to False)
query = "How to create a NumPy array in Python?"
contexts = github_rag.retrieve_context(
    query,
    # simple_mode = True
)

print(contexts[0]["url"])
print(contexts[0]["context"])

retrieve_context() returns a list of context dictionaries. Each item contains at least context and url.

For more advanced usage and examples, please refer to the documentation. Runnable low-cost examples are also available in examples/.
