Manage Cody Context
Control and manage what context from your codebase is used by Cody with Context Filters.
Context Filters
Context Filters are available only for Enterprise users on all supported clients. Admins can use these filters to determine which repositories Cody can use as context in its requests to third-party LLMs.
Requirements
- A valid Cody Enterprise license running on Sourcegraph instance version
>=5.4.0 - Supported Cody client versions:
VS Code >=1.20.0andJetBrains >=6.0.0 - Set the
cody-context-filters-enabledfeature flag totrue
Configuration Example
Site admins can customize the cody.contextFilters field in the site configuration to specify which repositories Cody should include or exclude:
{
"cody.contextFilters": {
"include": [
{ "repoNamePattern": "^github\\.com\\/sourcegraph\\/.*" }
],
"exclude": [
{ "repoNamePattern": ".*analytics.*" }
]
}
}How Include and Exclude Rules Work
The include and exclude rules define which repositories Cody can use as context. Here's how they work:
- No Rules Defined: Cody can access all repositories by default.
- Only Include Rules: Cody is restricted to repositories matching the
includepatterns. - Only Exclude Rules: Cody excludes repositories matching the
excludepatterns. - Both Include and Exclude Rules: Cody uses repositories matching the
includepatterns but excludes those matching theexcludepatterns.
