What is it?

QA-Pilot is a chat interface for understanding code repositories. You give it a public GitHub URL, which it clones, or upload a local folder of source files, and it indexes the code so you can ask questions about it in a chat session. Chat history is stored in PostgreSQL, and multiple sessions can be kept and searched.

The project supports a wide range of model providers, including Ollama, OpenAI, Anthropic, Mistral, ZhipuAI, Tongyi, Moonshot, NVIDIA, LocalAI and llama.cpp, so it can run fully local or against hosted APIs. A built-in CodeGraph view shows Python and Go files in a visual structure, and a search option can rerank results with FlashRank.

The backend moved from Flask to FastAPI and the frontend from Streamlit to Svelte. The project describes itself as a test project for fully local question answering, not for production or for analyzing sensitive or private code.

Key features

  • 01Chat with a public GitHub repository by cloning it, or upload a local source folder for indexing.
  • 02Stores chat history in PostgreSQL with multiple sessions and search.
  • 03Connects to many LLM providers, both local (Ollama, LocalAI, llama.cpp) and hosted.
  • 04Includes a CodeGraph view for Python and Go files.
  • 05Supports reranking search results with FlashRank via the rr: prefix.

Use cases

  • Getting oriented in an unfamiliar open-source codebase by asking questions about it.
  • Trying out question answering over code with a fully local model via Ollama.
  • Comparing how different LLM providers answer questions about the same repository.
