Quickstart Guide

Get up and running with CodeGraphContext in under 5 minutes. This guide covers indexing a repository and performing your first semantic query.

1. Index a Repository

Navigate to any local codebase and run the index command. This will scan your files and build the initial code graph.

cd /path/to/your/project
cgc index

CGC will automatically detect the programming languages in your project and use the appropriate Tree-sitter parsers.

Once indexing is complete, you can check the statistics of your code graph:

cgc stats

You should see counts for files, functions, classes, and relationships that were successfully extracted.

Now you can query the graph directly from your terminal. For example, to find all callers of a specific function:

cgc query callers "your_function_name"

To see a visual representation of your code structure:

cgc visualize

If you are actively developing, use the watch command. CGC will monitor your file system and incrementally update the graph as you save changes.

cgc watch
