Q&A

• How does SWE-Agent resolve a GitHub issue?

  SWE-Agent resolves a GitHub issue by reproducing the reported bug, identifying the problem in the code, making necessary edits, and submitting a solution. The solution passes the initial test and doesn't break existing tests.

• What does the software engineer do during the debugging process?

  During the debugging process, the software engineer debugs a large file with the goto command, locates and fixes errors in the code, explores cost limit settings for gp4, and expresses interest in using a local model for improved efficiency. The project is considered cool and promising despite some limitations.

• How do you set up GitHub token and OpenAI API key for SWE-Agent?

  To set up GitHub token and OpenAI API key for SWE-Agent, you need to follow the provided instructions. Additionally, running the program with the provided command and trying to solve an issue from its own repository using AI are part of the setup process. Many users are impressed by the progress and potential of the AI system.

• What does the tutorial on setting up a project involve?

  The tutorial includes cloning the project repository using Git clone command, setting up the Conda environment using an environment.yml file, and running the setup.sh script to build a Docker image. It also addresses encountering issues with Miniconda on Apple Silicon and the alternative solution of using Lightning.a. Additionally, it involves creating a keys file with environment variables.

• What is the installation process for the specialized language model tool?

  The installation process involves using Docker and Miniconda. Additionally, the tool runs a linter when an edit command is issued to ensure the syntactical correctness of the code. It also includes a custom file viewer and editor for the language model, which works best when displaying 100 lines at a time. Furthermore, the tool provides commands for scrolling and file searching.
