I tried asking a question about Porter and I see the error: > Oops > We couldn't access this repo. > You may need to log in to view this repository, or it might not exist.

Hey looked into this error, Porter was not processed by us yet, it does take a while for a repo to be processed initially but this link should give you the progress report + you can chat with it when its done:

Thanks! Yeah, it’s strangely worded for what it is. We’ve emailed GitHub about it. Our permissions are read-only but since we read “on your behalf” this is technically true.

Why don't you read on your own behalf. You don't need this permission at all. It's just to harvest email addresses right?

Presumably if you have a private repo, they need permission to read it.

I've been looking for something like this, but local-only. Any plans to let people self-host and point at local repositories?

We’ve been grappling with making it local but two considerations 1. Haven’t figured out what should trigger updates. Every commit sounds crazy, every save would be perfect but too intensive also. 2. LLMs will not be self hosted. We haven’t been able to get the same results with any smaller LLMs To answer your questions we definitely want to make this available for local repos and ideally self hosted, on a technical l…

Anyway to sign up for newsletter updated for when that happens? I’d be very keen to check this out once that feature lands.

Thanks, some interesting challenges there.

I'd love to try it, but pretty much all my repos are >10mb. It's not because there is that much code, but because I am doing bioinformatics and the test files (for the unit tests) inflate the repo size. It would be great if there was a way to test it on just 1 large repo for perhaps a week or something, because I balk at the idea of spending $20 a month on something that I don't even know works well.

This is important because I'm not deeply familiar with public projects, so I can't accurately assess if the tool is worthwhile. Whereas with one of my repos, I'd be able to tell quality pretty quickly.

We don’t have a newsletter but there should be a link to join our discord on app.greptile.com

You can also email me at daksh [at] greptile.com and I’ll set a reminder to let you know when it’s out

Just made a checkout code so you can use for free
