πŸš€ Getting Started

Prerequisites

Before you begin, ensure you have the following installed:

  • Node.js (v18.0.0 or higher)
  • npm (v9.0.0 or higher) or yarn (v1.22.0 or higher)
  • Git (for cloning the repository)
  • GitHub Account (for API access)
  • Anthropic API Key (for Claude AI)

Installation

1. Clone the Repository

git clone https://github.com/SimranShaikh20/repomindai.git
cd repomind-ai

2. Install Dependencies

# Using npm
npm install

# Or using yarn
yarn install

3. Environment Setup

Create a .env file in the root directory:

cp .env.example .env

Add your API keys:

# Anthropic Claude API Key
# Get yours at: https://console.anthropic.com/
VITE_ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=your_anthropic_api_key_here

# Optional: GitHub Personal Access Token (for higher rate limits)
# Get yours at: https://github.com/settings/tokens
VITE_GITHUB_TOKEN=your_github_token_here

⚠️ Security Note: Never commit .env files to version control. The API calls are made client-side in this demo. For production, move API calls to a backend server.

4. Start Development Server

# Using npm
npm run dev

# Or using yarn
yarn dev

The application will be available at http://localhost:5173

5. Build for Production

# Using npm
npm run build
