git-semantic

Semantic search for your codebase.
Ask in plain English, get back the exact function — not a file to skim, not 80 grep matches. 

# install
cargo install gitsem

# index your codebase
git-semantic index

# search
git-semantic grep "how incoming requests are validated"

# share with your team (no re-indexing needed)
git push origin semantic

How it works

01 Parses every tracked file with tree-sitter, splitting on function and class boundaries.
02 Embeds each chunk using OpenAI or a local ONNX model — no code leaves your machine if you prefer.
03 Stores vectors in a local SQLite index and on a Git orphan branch so the whole team shares embeddings without re-indexing.
04 Searches with KNN similarity. Results include the full matched chunk — ready to use, no file reading needed.
