Octocode – code searcher tool - Semantic code search for developers who hate grep

Stop hunting through files. Octocode brings semantic understanding to your codebase, allowing you to find logic and patterns, not just keywords. With branch-aware delta indexing and deep integration with local LLMs, it's the ultimate utility for navigating complex repos.

Hey PH! 🐙 I got tired of the 'grep-and-pray' method of navigating my codebases, so I built Octocode. I wanted a tool that actually understands the intent of my code, not just the characters. I've kept this open-source because I believe developer tools should be transparent and community-driven. We just hit a huge milestone with v0.13.0—bringing in branch-aware delta indexing and deep local LLM support so your code stays private and your search stays fast. No corporate fluff here—just a utility built by a dev, for devs, to stop the endless file-hunting. I'd love for you to give it a spin, star the repo, and tell me what's missing. Let's make code navigation actually feel like the 21st century! 🚀
