GitNexus CLI Commands
Commands below use node .gitnexus/run.cjs <command> — the project-local runner gitnexus analyze drops next to the index. It auto-selects an available runner at call time (global gitnexus, else pnpm dlx, else bunx, else npx), so no package-manager assumption and no global install is required — including on a bun-only machine, which has no npm, npx or pnpm at all.
Not analyzed yet, or
node .gitnexus/run.cjsreportsCannot find module(the gitignored runner is absent — e.g. a fresh clone orgit clean)? (Re)generate it withnpx gitnexus analyzefrom the project root, orbunx gitnexus@latest analyzeon a bun-only machine. On npm 11.x, ifnpxcrashes during install (node.target is null), install once withnpm i -g gitnexus(thengitnexus analyze), or usebunx gitnexus@latest analyze, orpnpm --allow-build=@ladybugdb/core --allow-build=gitnexus --allow-build=tree-sitter dlx gitnexus@latest analyze. See #1939.
Commands
analyze — Build or refresh the index
node .gitnexus/run.cjs analyze
Run from the project root. This parses all source files, builds the knowledge graph, writes it to .gitnexus/, and generates CLAUDE.md / AGENTS.md context files.
| Flag | Effect |
|---|---|
--force |
Force full re-index even if up to date |
--embeddings |
Enable embedding generation for semantic search (off by default) |
--drop-embeddings |
Drop existing embeddings on rebuild. By default, an analyze without --embeddings preserves them. |
--pdg |
Build the program-dependence layers used by explain and pdg_query (taint, CDG, and REACHING_DEF). |
When to run: First time in a project, after major code changes, or when gitnexus://repo/{name}/context reports the index is stale.
status — Check index freshness
node .gitnexus/run.cjs status
Shows whether the current repo has a GitNexus index, when it was last updated, and symbol/relationship counts. Use this to check if re-indexing is needed.
clean — Delete the index
node .gitnexus/run.cjs clean
Deletes the .gitnexus/ directory and unregisters the repo from the global registry. Use before re-indexing if the index is corrupt or after removing GitNexus from a project.
| Flag | Effect |
|---|---|
--force |
Skip confirmation prompt |
--all |
Clean all indexed repos, not just the current one |
wiki — Generate documentation from the graph
node .gitnexus/run.cjs wiki
Generates repository documentation from the knowledge graph using an LLM. Requires an API key (saved to ~/.gitnexus/config.json on first use).
| Flag | Effect |
|---|---|
--force |
Force full regeneration, also required to re-gerenate an existing wiki in a different language |
--model <model> |
LLM model (default: MiniMax-M3) |
--base-url <url> |
LLM API base URL |
--api-key <key> |
LLM API key |
--concurrency <n> |
Parallel LLM calls (default: 3) |
--gist |
Publish wiki as a public GitHub Gist |
--timeout <seconds> |
LLM request timeout in seconds (default: disabled) |
--retries <n> |
Max LLM retry attempts per request (default: 3) |
--lang <lang> |
Output language for generated documentation (e.g. english, chinese, spanish, japanese) |
list — Show all indexed repos
node .gitnexus/run.cjs list
Lists all repositories registered in ~/.gitnexus/registry.json. The MCP list_repos tool provides the same information.
After Indexing
- Read
gitnexus://repo/{name}/contextto verify the index loaded - Use the other GitNexus skills (
exploring,debugging,impact-analysis,refactoring) for your task
Troubleshooting
- "Not inside a git repository": Run from a directory inside a git repo
- Index is stale after re-analyzing: Restart Claude Code to reload the MCP server
- Embeddings slow: Omit
--embeddings(it's off by default) or setOPENAI_API_KEYfor faster API-based embedding
