# 🧠 RAGmate - Local RAG for JetBrains AI Assistant

**RAGmate** is an open-source, lightweight server that extends **JetBrains AI Assistant** with actual knowledge of your project.
It indexes your codebase locally and injects relevant context into prompts — so you get better, context-aware answers without changing your IDE workflow.

⚡ Works with **OpenAI**, **Ollama**, **LM Studio**, and any LLM with an API.
🔒 No cloud, no lock-in — everything runs **locally**.

## Demo

> JetBrains AI Assistant can't answer: “What patterns does this project use for the file scan?”
> With RAGmate, it gives a detailed answer — based on real code context.

---

## 🚀 Why RAGmate?

JetBrains AI Assistant is helpful — but lacks real project awareness.
**RAGmate adds missing context**, without plugins or cloud syncing.

- ✅ Built for JetBrains IDEs
- 🧠 Brings RAG to your local machine
- 🧩 Works with any LLM API (OpenAI, local models, etc)
- 🧼 No framework complexity (no LangChain / LlamaIndex)
- 📁 Local embeddings + semantic search over your codebase

---

## ⚙️ How it works

1. **Index** your project (automatically detects files to scan)
2. **Start** RAGmate server
3. **Connect** your JetBrains IDE to the RAGmate HTTP bridge
4. Ask AI Assistant anything — with real code context

---

## 🛠️ Supported:

- ✅ JetBrains IDEs (via HTTP bridge)
- ✅ Any LLM with a simple `POST /completion` interface
- ✅ Local embeddings (OpenAI, HuggingFace, more coming)

---

## 🧪 Use cases

Ask your AI Assistant:

- “Where is `verify_token()` used?”
- “Explain the login flow in this codebase”
- “How does the error handler work across services?”

RAGmate ensures answers are grounded in your real code.

---

## ✨ Features

- 🧠 Context-aware completions using your project’s actual codebase.
- ⚙️ Integration with JetBrains IDEs via AI Assistant.
- 🔄 Real-time file change tracking and automatic reindexing.
- 🔌 Use any external or local LLM and embedding model.
- 🛡️ Fully local — your code never leaves your machine.
- 🌿 Tracks your current Git branch to enhance contextual accuracy.

---

## 👤 Who is this for?

- Developers already using JetBrains AI Assistant
- Engineers working with large or legacy codebases
- Teams needing privacy-focused, local AI tools
- Anyone frustrated by AI that “doesn't know the code”

---

## 🚀 Getting Started

### ✅ Prerequisites

- [Docker Compose](https://docs.docker.com/compose/install/)

---

## 🛠️ Installation & Setup

### 1. Add a Docker Compose service

In your project root, create or edit `compose.yml`:

```yaml
services:
  ragmate:
    image: ghcr.io/ragmate/ragmate:latest
    ports:
      - "11434:11434"
    env_file:
      - ./.ragmate.env
    volumes:
      - .:/project
      - ./docker_data/ragmate:/apps/cache
```

> 💡 `./docker_data/ragmate:/apps/cache` — path to the local cache, which can be adjusted as needed.

---

### 2. Add environment variables

Create the `.ragmate.env` file at the project root and add it to `.gitignore` or `.git/info/exclude`.

#### Required variables:

| Variable               | Description                                |
|------------------------|--------------------------------------------|
| `LLM_MODEL`         | LLM model for generation (e.g., `o3-mini`) |
| `LLM_PROVIDER`| LLM provider (e.g., `openai`, `mistralai`) |
| `LLM_API_KEY`       | Your LLM API key                           |

_The full list of available providers and their models you can find below_

#### Optional variables:

| Variable                | Description                                                                                     | Default value                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 |

### 3. Run the container

```bash
docker compose up -d
```

---

### 4. Configure JetBrains AI Assistant

1. Open **Settings** → **Tools** → **AI Assistant** → **Models**
2. Enable **Enable Ollama**
3. Click **Test Connect**
4. In **Core features** and **Instant helpers**, select `ollama/ragmate`

---

### 5. Set up a Git hook (optional)

Different Git branches can contain different features and source code. To ensure RAGmate works with the most up-to-date context, you can set up a Git hook to notify it when the branch changes.

1. Create the hook script file named `.git/hooks/post-checkout` in your repository:
    ```bash
    touch .git/hooks/post-checkout
    ```

2. Add the following content to the file. Open the file in your editor (e.g., `nano`, `vim`, or your IDE) and paste:
    ```bash
     #!/bin/bash
    
    API_URL="http://127.0.0.1:11434/api/checkout-event"
    PREV_HEAD=$1
    NEW_HEAD=$2
    
    # Skip if nothing changed
    if [ "$PREV_HEAD" = "$NEW_HEAD" ]; then
        exit 0
    fi
    
    # Construct JSON payload
    JSON_PAYLOAD=$(jq -n \
                    --arg prev "$PREV_HEAD" \
                    --arg new "$NEW_HEAD" \
                    '{previous_head: $prev, new_head: $new}')
    
    # Make the API call
    curl -s -o /dev/null -X POST \
         -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
         -d "$JSON_PAYLOAD" "$API_URL"
    ```

3. Make the hook executable
    ```bash
    chmod +x .git/hooks/post-checkout
    ```
