Crate git_indexer 

Git repository indexer for Helix DB graph database.

This crate provides functionality to extract information from git repositories and index it into a Helix DB graph database instance.

Features

• Extract branches, commits, and file changes from git repositories
• Generate diffs for file changes
• Push git data to Helix DB as nodes and edges

Quick Start

Standalone Extraction

Extract git information without pushing to Helix DB:

use git_indexer::extraction::extract;
use std::path::Path;

let git_info = extract(Path::new("/path/to/repo")).unwrap();

println!("Branches: {}", git_info.branches.len());
println!("Commits: {}", git_info.commits.len());

for commit in &git_info.commits {
    println!("{}: {}", &commit.id[..8], commit.message);
}

Helix DB Integration

Index a repository into a Helix DB instance:

use git_indexer::GitIndexerClient;

let client = GitIndexerClient::builder()
    .endpoint("http://localhost:6969")
    .build()?;

// Extract and push to Helix DB
let git_info = client.index_repository("/path/to/repo").await?;

Data Model

The crate extracts the following git objects:

• Branches (BranchInfo): Local and remote branch references
• Commits (CommitInfo): Commit metadata with parent relationships
• File Changes (FileChange): Files modified in each commit with diffs
• Diff Hunks (DiffHunk): Individual change blocks within files

Helix DB Graph Structure

When indexed to Helix DB, the data is stored as:

Nodes:

• Branch - Branch metadata
• Commit - Commit metadata
• FileChange - File modification with diff

Edges:

• Commit -> Commit (parent relationship)
• Branch -> Commit (branch tip)
• Commit -> FileChange (files changed in commit)
