Open source GitHub Copilot alternatives

Show HN: Tabby – A self-hosted GitHub Copilot

“Yes they have a VS Code extension even though it's not mentioned in their Github readme for some reason (just search for Tabby in VS code extensions). I tried it and it worked OK.”

Show HN: Tabby – A self-hosted GitHub Copilot

“Just in case you didn't know that a project called Tabby exists (it was Terminus). It's a terminal (another one you could say). It's not my project, I'm just a user.”

[Windows] [sink-thread] How do you use Pi on windows? What issues are you seeing?

“## Motivation There are gazzilion developers on windows. Some use pi. Many could use pi. There are however too many ways pi can be run on windows and as such it is hard to know where to focus energy (fixing bugs, having best docs, having out of box) vs what ways can be delegated…”

openai-codex Connection Reliability Issues

“## Summary `openai-codex` / `gpt-5.5` sometimes leaves the interactive TUI stuck on `Working...` with no streamed text, no tool call, and no visible error. The only way to recover is pressing Escape, which records an aborted assistant turn. This has happened repeatedly over the…”

allow exit and quit commands without leading slash (/)

“### What would you like to be added? This is feature request - someone can point it as bug as well but I will not. **Ask / Request 👉🏽 Implement exit and quit as standard commands with a simple confirmation prompt** ### Why is this needed? 1. Claude Code - Uses /exit (slash…”

Confusing error message "ripgrep exited with code null" when search is cancelled

“### What happened? When a search operation is cancelled or aborted (e.g., by pressing Ctrl+C or via AbortSignal), the CLI displays a confusing error message: ``` ripgrep exited with code null ``` This message is misleading because it suggests something went wrong, when in fact…”

Why Cline doesn't index your codebase

“Cursor changed their pricing recently and now charge a 20% markup on LLM API calls to use their "Max" models (which from what I gather are the full extent of the LLM context windows you get in the API anyway). I also don't love that Cursor generally plays "context compression"…”

Why Cline doesn't index your codebase

“Following dependencies is the way to go IMHO. Saying "Code Doesn't Think in Chunks", is IMHO not correct. Developers do thing in chunks of codes. E.g. this function calls that function uses that type and is used here and there. It is not really a file based model like Cline…”

Code-review-graph: persistent code graph that cuts Claude Code token usage

“Hi HN I'm Tirth. I built code-review-graph because I got tired of watching Claude Code re-read my entire codebase on every single task. When you ask Claude Code to review a commit or add a feature, it reads files to understand the codebase. On a small project that's fine. On…”

Beads: Computer language and toolchain

“So at risk of being the exact type of crusty old guy the tweeter is complaining about, I think Rik is completely missing the point. Progammers are busy, and not just with work but with learning. Somebody said its a 60hr/wk job, 40hrs for your boss and 20hrs just keeping up with…”

Beads: Computer language and toolchain

“I am vaguely familiar with Light Table and Eve (coincidentally my college roommate grew up with Chris but I don't know him personally). It's been awhile but my recollection is Light Table/Eve had a more targeted set of selling points -- a killer IDE with some slick features I…”

Open-source plugin brings Roo Code to JetBrains IDEs

“Hi, I built this plugin to help JetBrains users run Roo Code Agents natively, without needing to switch to VS Code. It supports most features out of the box and works with IntelliJ IDEA, PyCharm, and other JetBrains IDEs. Feedback or contributions welcome! GitHub:”

Indexing succeds but then search_code right after that says code base is not indexed

“Had installed it successfully with the cloud repository Indexed the source code directory few times (shorter repo) and it was successful each time, but right after index when I tried to search it said the code is not indexed and kicked off indexing again Have never been able to…”

claude-context MCP search_code fails despite successful indexing

“## Summary The `search_code` MCP tool consistently fails with "codebase not indexed" error despite: 1. Successful completion of `index_codebase` operation 2. Confirmation from `get_indexing_status` that codebase is "fully indexed and ready" 3. Verified data stored in Milvus…”

Roadmap: Is there still a plan to rewrite this in Rust in the future?

“### What is your question? I noticed that Rust has been removed from the current plan. May I ask whether a Rust rewrite is still being considered, or if it has been permanently dropped from the roadmap ? ### Additional information that you believe is relevant to this question N/A”
