# Using ctags to help GPT-4 understand an entire repo
GPT-4 is great at coding, but it's hard to work with it to make
modifications inside a large code base.
GPT can't really understand and navigate more code than can fit
in its context window.
And many
common types of code changes will need knowledge and context from
multiple files strewn about the repo.
A new experimental feature of `aider` uses `ctags` to give GPT a
**repo map**, so that it can better understand and navigate larger repos.
=======
# Enhancing GPT-4's understanding of entire repos using ctags
While GPT-4 excels at coding tasks, it struggles with making modifications within large code bases. Its limited context window prevents it from understanding and navigating code beyond its capacity. Many common code changes require knowledge and context from multiple files scattered throughout the repo. To address this issue, `aider` introduces an experimental feature that utilizes `ctags` to provide GPT with a **repo map**, enabling it to better comprehend and navigate larger repositories.

```
# Context:
USER: improve the para starting "Of course for large repos"
ASSISTANT: ```markdown
docs/ctags.md
<<<<<<< ORIGINAL
Of course, for large repos even their map might be too large for
the context window.
But this mapping approach enables
collaboration with GPT-4 on larger code bases
than was previously possible.
And it reduces the need to manually curate which files to add
to the chat, giving GPT itself more ability to identify which files
are relevant to the task at hand.
=======
Of course, for large repositories, even their map might be too large for the context window. However, this mapping approach significantly improves collaboration with GPT-4 on larger codebases compared to previous methods. It also minimizes the need for manual curation of files to add to the chat, empowering GPT to autonomously identify relevant files for the task at hand.

# Context:
USER: make -v short for --verbose
ASSISTANT: To make `-v` a short option for `--verbose`, you can modify the `aider/main.py` file. Here's the change:
```python
aider/main.py
<<<<<<< ORIGINAL
parser.add_argument(
"--verbose",
action="store_true",
help="Enable verbose output",
default=False,
)
=======
parser.add_argument(
"-v", "--verbose",
action="store_true",
help="Enable verbose output",
default=False,
)
>>>>>>> UPDATED
```
# Context:
USER: Add --verbose with no env default. pass into Coder and set self.verbose
ASSISTANT: To add the `--verbose` option, we need to modify the `aider/main.py` file. Here's the step-by-step process:
1. Add the `--verbose` argument to the `argparse.ArgumentParser` in the `main` function.
2. Pass the `args.verbose` value to the `Coder` class when initializing it.
3. Update the `Coder` class in the `aider/coder.py` file to accept the `verbose` parameter and set `self.verbose`.
Here are the changes to the code:
```python
aider/main.py
<<<<<<< ORIGINAL
parser.add_argument(
"--yes",
action="store_true",
help="Always say yes to every confirmation",
default=False,

- `--chat-history-file CHAT_HISTORY_FILE`: Specify the chat history file (default: .aider.chat.history.md). Override the default with the environment variable `AIDER_CHAT_HISTORY_FILE`.

# Context:
USER: `Coder.get_commit_message()` uses gpt-3.5-turbo to summarize the diffs into a sensible commit message. If the diff is large, it exceeds the 4K context window.
A simple fix would be:
1. Check if the diff is close to or larger than 4 kbytes (4k tokens * 4 bytes/token) and don't even bother sending the messages to gpt. Just return.
2. Catch the `openai.error.InvalidRequestError` and just return.
Maybe print a nice tool_error() message for each of these.
ASSISTANT: To implement the suggested changes, we will modify the `get_commit_message()` method in the `aider/coder.py` file. Here are the step-by-step changes:
1. Check if the length of `diffs` is close to or larger than 4 kbytes (4k tokens * 4 bytes/token). If it is, print an error message and return.
2. Catch the `openai.error.InvalidRequestError` exception when calling `self.send()` and print an error message, then return.
Here are the code changes:
```python
aider/coder.py

def get_commit_message(self, diffs, context):
diffs = "# Diffs:\n" + diffs
messages = [
dict(role="system", content=prompts.commit_system),

]
commit_message, interrupted = self.send(
messages,

return
diffs = "# Diffs:\n" + diffs

commit_message, interrupted = self.send(

self.io.tool_error("Failed to generate commit message using gpt-3.5-turbo due to an invalid request.")

# Context:
USER: add an in memory cache to get_tags that only updates if the st_mtime of the filename changes
ASSISTANT: To implement an in-memory cache for the `get_tags` function, we will need to modify the `aider/ctags.py` file. We will use a dictionary to store the cache and check the file's modification time to decide whether to update the cache or not.
Here are the steps to implement the cache:
1. Create a global variable `TAGS_CACHE` to store the cache.
2. In the `get_tags` function, check if the filename is in the cache and if the modification time has not changed.
3. If the conditions in step 2 are met, return the cached value.
4. If the conditions in step 2 are not met, update the cache with the new tags and return them.
