CodeGraph CLI: Unleash AI-Powered Code Understanding and Generation Directly from Your Terminal

CodeGraph CLI (cg) is a new command-line interface designed to bring advanced code intelligence capabilities directly to developers' terminals. By parsing a codebase into a semantic graph, CodeGraph CLI empowers users with features like semantic search, impact analysis, multi-agent code generation, and conversational coding, all powered by their choice of large language model (LLM).

At its core, CodeGraph CLI leverages a graph-augmented RAG approach. It parses your codebase using tree-sitter, constructing a dependency graph stored in SQLite. Neural embedding models are then used for semantic code search, enabling developers to find relevant code snippets based on meaning rather than just keyword matching. The tool supports multiple LLM providers and can optionally run a CrewAI multi-agent system, allowing for autonomous reading, writing, patching, and rolling back files.

Key features include:

• Semantic Code Search: Find code based on its meaning using neural embedding models.
• Impact Analysis: Understand the ripple effects of code changes before they happen.
• Multi-Agent Code Generation: Leverage CrewAI for autonomous code generation, patching, and rollback.
• Conversational Coding: Interact with your codebase through a conversational interface.
• Local Web UI: Visualize your code with directory tree navigation, syntax highlighting, dependency graphs, and Mermaid diagrams.

CodeGraph CLI is highly configurable. Users can select from five embedding models, ranging from the zero-dependency 'hash' model to the high-quality 'Qodo-Embed-1-1.5B' model. The tool also offers seamless integration with six different LLM providers, managed through a unified interface. Configuration is stored in a single file, ~/.codegraph/config.toml, eliminating the need for environment variables.

One of the most compelling aspects of CodeGraph CLI is its CrewAI integration. When enabled, CodeGraph launches a CrewAI pipeline with specialized agents, each responsible for a specific task, such as code review, testing, or documentation. This allows for automated code modification and maintenance, significantly reducing developer workload.

The tool also prioritizes safety and version control. Every file modification automatically creates a timestamped backup in ~/.codegraph/backups/. Users can easily roll back files to any previous state using the '/rollback' command or the 'cg v2 rollback' command.

CodeGraph CLI is open-source (MIT license), making it accessible to a wide range of developers. By bringing AI-powered code intelligence directly to the command line, CodeGraph CLI promises to transform the way developers interact with their codebases, leading to increased productivity and improved code quality. The ability to chat with your code and have AI assist in understanding its complexities opens up exciting possibilities for both individual developers and larger teams.
