How it works

Add the folder that is already on this computer. Investigate reads that checkout. The answer should name a file in that folder.

  1. Open Settings → Indexing.
  2. Add the folder. Example path: C:\Users\you\src\spinnaker on Windows, or ~/src/spinnaker on Mac.
  3. That path is a Spinnaker checkout on this computer. It is files on disk. It is not a running Spinnaker cluster.
  4. If the folder list is empty, quit Arcus and open the app again. Then add the folder once more.
  5. Wait until the folder is listed before you ask a code question.
  6. You can still paste symptoms with no folder. The answer will not be grounded in files.

Ask against code
Ask in natural language against the local index.
Repositories and code
Index a local checkout and optionally connect GitHub so answers cite real files and lines.
How we handle data
The repository index stays on your machine. A snippet is sent only when you ask.
