what's the difference between this repo and Gitnexus

Gitnexus github: https://github.com/abhigyanpatwari/GitNexus

It also build CodeGraph and hybird search using BM25 + embedding + RRF

I would say the strict Licensing of Git Nexus is one Real advantage this code repo has.

Great question! The key differences:

• Parsing approach: code-review-graph uses Tree-sitter ASTs to build a structural graph (functions, classes, imports, calls). GitNexus uses embedding-based similarity.
• MCP native: We expose 22 MCP tools and 5 prompts — Claude Code can query the graph directly during reviews.
• Incremental updates: Git-based change detection means only modified files are re-parsed.
• 19 languages: Including Vue SFC, Solidity, Dart, Scala, notebooks, etc.
• Offline/local: Everything runs locally in SQLite — no API calls for the core graph.
• Open source: MIT license.

They solve related but different problems. code-review-graph is focused on structural understanding for code reviews; GitNexus is more about semantic similarity search.

This was a question about the difference between code-review-graph and GitNexus. Issue correctly closed as a general discussion.
