Working with the assistant
The assistant is a GenAI tool that allows you to ask questions or request help on most of your daily workflow tasks, such as onboarding or getting repository states, creating new workflows, exploring PRs, and more.
Using the editor
The side editor is a powerful tool for working with scripts generated by the Assistant. Whenever the Assistant creates a script, it automatically loads into the editor, allowing you to quickly review, modify, or execute it as needed.
By default, the editor loads content from the assistant, so you can immediately work with any generated scripts.
⚡ Describe, generate, edit, and improve!
What does “Not indexed yet” mean?
Not indexed yet indicates that the repository data has not been indexed. Indexing (or re-indexing) is updating and synchronizing the repository’s metadata, including file structure, commit history, branch status, and other details, so all changes are fully captured and searchable within Warestack.
What is the last index of your repository?
The Assistant always has access to the latest re-indexed version of your repository. To re-index your repository, go to the Repositories section and select Reindex your repository from the side menu. Re-indexing is especially beneficial after significant updates, branch merges, or codebase restructuring.
Re-indexing only after significant changes, such as new content, updated files, or modifications, is recommended to ensure your repository is fully synchronized and searchable.
⚡ Your last re-index date shows the latest state of your repository.
