Configuring SeaGOAT
Introduction
Some features of SeaGOAT can be configured through config files. All configuration files are written in the YAML format.
There are two types of configuration files:
- Global configuration files. Use
seagoat-server server-info
to find the location of this file on your system. Learn more. - Project configuration files. Located in a file called
seagoat.yml
in the root folder of your repository.
Both of these types of configuration files have the exact same format, and your project-wide configuration files are merged with the global configuration. Whenever both your local as well as global configuration files define a value, the local value takes precedence.
This is an example of a configuration file:
# .seagoat.yml
server:
port: 31134 # A port number to run the server on
# Increase number of commits used for computing frecency score
# Default is `1000`, set to `null` to read all history
readMaxCommits: 5000
# globs to ignore in addition to .gitignore
ignorePatterns:
- "**/locales/*" # Ignore all files inside 'locales' directories
- "**/*.po" # Ignore all gettext translation files
client:
# Connect the CLI to a remove server
host: https://example.com/seagoat-instance/
Available configuration options
Server
Server-related configuration resides under the server
attribute in your
config files.
The following values can be configured:
port
: The port number the server will run onignorePatterns
: A list of glob patterns to ignore. Keep in mind that all files ignored by.gitignore
are already ignored. You probably should not need to configure this value. It is only useful if there are some files that you wish to keep in git, but you wish to hide from SeaGOAT. Learn more about globschroma
: Configurations for the ChromaDB based features. Has the following attributes:embeddingFunction
:name
: Name of the embedding function to use. See ChromaDB's docs for morearguments
: Arguments to pass to the embedding function.-
If you wanted to use the
ONNXMiniLM_L6_V2
embedding model with TensorRT
Client
Configuration for the CLI (gt
command) resides under the client
attribute.
The following values can be configured:
host
: The URL of the SeaGOAT instance to connect to. This is only needed when you are hosting your SeaGOAT server on a remote computer. It is recommended to set this value in your project configuration file, so that you are still able to use the local server for different projects.
