Description

Hi!

Many repositories have a large discussion space as well as a wiki. There is, surpsisingly, a lack of tool to download those.

If a tool existed to slowly but surely dump the discussions and issues and wiki of a repo, we could hook this up to llm and do RAG search on it instead of relying on github's terrible search features.

I'm especially thinking of open-webui

Contributor guide

First steps

  1. Read the whole issue, then the project's contributing guide.
  2. Comment on the issue to say you are picking it up — it saves two people doing the same work.
  3. Fork the repository and make your change on a branch.
  4. Open a pull request that references the issue number.

Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by defining the scope for exporting GitHub Discussions, issues, and a repository wiki, using open-webui as the motivating example. Done should be a tool that produces data suitable for connecting to llm and performing RAG search.
