Show HN: SeaGOAT – local, “AI-based” grep for semantic code search

September 20, 2023

Show HN: SeaGOAT – local, “AI-based” grep for semantic code search
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

Logo
SeaGOAT

A code search engine for the AI age. SeaGOAT is a local search tool that
leverages vector embeddings to enable to search your codebase semantically.

Note: I was recently laid off my job and I am looking for new
opportunities. If you need a Senior Full Stack Developer,
contact me! I have experience with
React, Node and Python and I’m located in Spain (European Union).
10+ years in software development professionally.

Getting started

Install SeaGOAT

In order to install SeaGOAT, you need to have the following
dependencies already installed on your computer:

Python 3.11 or newer
ripgrep
bat (optional, highly recommended)

When bat is installed,
it is used to display results as long as color is enabled. When SeaGOAT is
used as part of a pipeline, a grep-line output format is used. When color is
enabled, but bat is not installed, SeaGOAT will highlight the output using
pygments. Using bat is recommended.

To install SeaGOAT using pipx, use the following command:

System requirements

Hardware

Should work on any decent laptop.

Oporating system

SeaGOAT is designed to work on Linux (tested ✅),
macOS (partly tested, help 🙏)
and Windows (help needed 🙏).

Start SeaGOAT server

In order to use SeaGOAT in your project, you have to start the SeaGOAT server
using the following command:

seagoat-server start /path/to/your/repo

Search your repository

If you have the server running, you can simply use the
gt or seagoat command to query your repository. For example:

gt “Where are the numbers rounded”

You can also use
Regular Expressions
in your queries, for example

gt “function calc_.* that deals with taxes”

Stopping the server

You can stop the running server using the following command:

seagoat-server stop /path/to/your/repo

Development

Requirements:

Poetry
Python 3.11 or newer
ripgrep

Install dependencies

After cloning the repository, install dependencies using the following command:

Running tests

Watch mode (recommended)

Test changed files
poetry run pytest . –testmon
Test all files

Manual testing

You can test any SeaGOAT command manually in your local development
environment. For example to test the development version of the
seagoat-server command, you can run:

poetry run seagoat-server ~/path/an/example/repository

FAQ

The points in this FAQ are indications of how SeaGOAT works, but are not
a legal contract. SeaGOAT is licensed under an open source license and if you
are in doubt about the privacy/safety/etc implications of SeaGOAT, you are
welcome to examine the source code,
raise your concerns,
or create a pull request to fix a problem.

How does SeaGOAT work? Does it send my data to ChatGPT?

SeaGOAT does not rely on 3rd party APIs or any remote APIs and executes all
functionality locally using the SeaGOAT server that you are able to run on
your own machine.

Instead of relying on APIs or “connecting to ChatGPT”, it uses the vector
database called ChromaDB, with a local vector embedding engine and
telemetry disabled by default.

Apart from that, SeaGOAT also uses ripgrep, a regular-expression based code
search engine in order to provider regular expression/keyword based matches
in addition to the “AI-based” matches.

While the current version of SeaGOAT does not send your data to remote
servers, it might be possible that in the future there will be optional
features that do so, if any further improvement can be gained from that.

Why does SeaGOAT need a server?

SeaGOAT needs a server in order to provide a speedy response. SeaGOAT heavily
relies on vector embeddings and vector databases, which at the moment cannot
be replace with an architecture that processes files on the fly.

It’s worth noting that you are able to run SeaGOAT server entirely locally,
and it works even if you don’t have an internet connection. This use case
does not require you to share data with a remote server, you are able to use
your own SeaGOAT server locally, albeit it’s also possible to run a SeaGOAT
server and allow other computers to connect to it, if you so wish.

Does SeaGOAT create AI-derived work? Is SeaGOAT ethical?

If you are concerned about the ethical implications of using AI tools keep in
mind that SeaGOAT is not a code generator but a code search engine, therefore
it does not create AI derived work.

That being said, a language model is being used to generate vector
embeddings. At the moment SeaGOAT uses ChromaDB’s default model for
calculating vector embeddings, and I am not aware of this being an ethical
concern.

What programming langauges are supported?

Currently SeaGOAT is hardcoded to only process files in the following
formats:

Text Files (*.txt)
Markdown (*.md)
Python (*.py)
C (*.c, *.h)
C++ (*.cpp, *.cc, *.cxx, *.hpp)
TypeScript (*.ts, *.tsx)
JavaScript (*.js, *.jsx)
HTML (*.html)
Go (*.go)
Java (*.java)
PHP (*.php)
Ruby (*.rb)
