What is Sweep ?

Sweep is an AI junior developer that turns bugs and feature requests into code changes. Sweep automatically handles devex improvements like adding typehints/improving test coverage.

Sweep Features

Turns issues directly into pull requests (without an IDE)
Addresses developer replies & comments on its PRs
Understands your codebase using the dependency graph, text, and vector search.
Runs your unit tests and autoformatters to validate generated code.
Stack small fixes into your PR by applying Sweep Rules

What makes Sweep Different

Modifying Code - LLMs like GPT4 don’t have a great way to automatically modify code. We heavily experiment on different ways to modify code so you don’t have to. We’ve spent a really long time working on this - check out https://docs.sweep.dev/blogs/gpt-4-modification!
Planning Code Changes - Retrieval-Augmented-Generation isn’t enough. We wrote a code chunker that’s used fairly heavily, and we’re constantly improving this: https://docs.sweep.dev/blogs/chunking-improvements
Sweep runs your Github Actions, catching bugs and making sure each line of new code has been properly validated!
Sweep uses it’s sandbox to format your code, and uses Rules to perform other changes like adding typehints, or any other small chores!

Limitations of Sweep

Gigantic repos: >5000 files. We have default extensions and directories to exclude but sometimes this doesn’t catch them all. You may need to block some directories (see blocked_dirs)
- If Sweep is stuck at 0% for over 30 min and your repo has a few thousand files, let us know.

Large-scale refactors: >3 files or >150 lines of code changes

- e.g. Refactor the entire codebase from TensorFlow to PyTorch

- Sweep works best when pointed to a file, and we're continously improving Sweep's automation!

Editing images and other non-text assets

- e.g. Use the logo to create favicons for our landing page

Demo

Install Sweep

Install Sweep and open a Github Issue like: Sweep: Add typehints to src/utils/github_utils.py and Sweep will:

Search through your codebase to find the dependencies of github_utils.py
Modify the code to add typehints
Run and debug your code to write a Pull Request ⚡

Getting Started

GitHub App

Install Sweep by adding the Sweep GitHub App to your desired repositories.

For more details, visit our installation page.
Note: Sweep only considers issues with the “Sweep:” title on creation and not on update. If you want Sweep to pick up an existing issue, you can add the “Sweep” label to the issue.
We focus on Python but support all languages GPT-4 can write. This includes JS/TS, Rust, Go, Java, C# and C++.

Self-Hosting

You can self-host Sweep with our Docker image ( https://hub.docker.com/r/sweepai/sweep ). Please check out our deployment instructions here! https://docs.sweep.dev/deployment
