Chat with your GitHub repository

One way to ask questions about your GitHub repository is through GitHub copilot chat inside the GitHub website. Just click on the Copilot icon next to the Search field and a conversation window pops up where you can start asking questions about your repository.


Although this works quite nice, it limits you to what GitHub Copilot has to offer. The good news is that there are some tools that allow you to use your GitHub data with other LLM’s.

How does it work?

Each of these tools work in a similar way as they read through all available data(source code, documentation,  PR info,…) in your GitHub repo to build up one big context file. For example if I feed one of my repositories into Uithub, I get this file back:

This contains the full file tree, all the documentation, source code and so on…

This file can than be given to the LLM of your choice(preferably one that accepts a large token size) to ask questions about it.

Right now I’m aware of the following tools that do this:

UitHub

Available here: Easily Ask Your LLM Coding Questions

Gitingest

Available here: Gitingest

Github.gg

Available here: GitHub.gg - Repository Analysis

Any other that you now?

Kubernetes–Limit your environmental impact

Reducing the carbon footprint and CO2 emission of our (cloud) workloads, is a responsibility of all of us. If you are running a Kubernetes cluster, have a look at Kube-Green . kube-green is a simple Kubernetes operator that automatically shuts down (some of) your pods when you don't need them. A single pod produces about 11 Kg CO2eq per year( here the calculation). Reason enough to give it a try! Installing kube-green in your cluster The easiest way to install the operator in your cluster is through kubectl. We first need to install a cert-manager: kubectl apply -f https://github.com/cert-manager/cert-manager/releases/download/v1.14.5/cert-manager.yaml Remark: Wait a minute before you continue as it can take some time before the cert-manager is up & running inside your cluster. Now we can install the kube-green operator: kubectl apply -f https://github.com/kube-green/kube-green/releases/latest/download/kube-green.yaml Now in the namespace where we want t...

.NET 8–Keyed/Named Services

A feature that a lot of IoC container libraries support but that was missing in the default DI container provided by Microsoft is the support for Keyed or Named Services. This feature allows you to register the same type multiple times using different names, allowing you to resolve a specific instance based on the circumstances. Although there is some controversy if supporting this feature is a good idea or not, it certainly can be handy. To support this feature a new interface IKeyedServiceProvider got introduced in .NET 8 providing 2 new methods on our ServiceProvider instance: object? GetKeyedService(Type serviceType, object? serviceKey); object GetRequiredKeyedService(Type serviceType, object? serviceKey); To use it, we need to register our service using one of the new extension methods: Resolving the service can be done either through the FromKeyedServices attribute: or by injecting the IKeyedServiceProvider interface and calling the GetRequiredKeyedServic...
