Hybrid RAG Project MCP Server

# GitHub Setup Instructions This guide will help you push your Hybrid RAG project to GitHub. ## ✅ Pre-commit Checklist The following have been completed: - [x] Project restructured to follow Python best practices (src layout) - [x] `.gitignore` file configured to exclude sensitive/generated files - [x] `README.md` updated with badges and comprehensive documentation - [x] `LICENSE` file added (MIT License) - [x] `CONTRIBUTING.md` file created with contribution guidelines - [x] `CHANGELOG.md` file documenting version history - [x] `setup.py` updated with correct metadata (version 2.1.0) - [x] Git repository initialized - [x] Initial commit created (27 files, 5591 lines) ## 📦 What's Included in the Repository ### Core Files (27 files committed) ``` ✅ Source code (src/hybrid_rag/) ✅ Scripts (scripts/) ✅ Configuration (config/) ✅ Documentation (docs/) ✅ Tests (tests/) ✅ Setup files (setup.py, setup.sh, requirements.txt) ✅ GitHub files (LICENSE, README.md, CONTRIBUTING.md, CHANGELOG.md) ``` ### Excluded Files (via .gitignore) ``` ❌ Virtual environment (.venv/) ❌ Vector database (chroma_db/) ❌ User data files (data/*.csv, data/*.pdf, etc.) ❌ Distribution packages (dist/) ❌ Python cache (__pycache__/, *.pyc) ❌ IDE files (.idea/) ❌ Temporary files (*.backup, *_bak/) ``` ## 🚀 Pushing to GitHub ### Step 1: Configure Git User (If Not Done) ```bash git config --global user.name "Your Name" git config --global user.email "your.email@example.com" ``` ### Step 2: Create GitHub Repository 1. Go to https://github.com/new 2. **Repository name**: `hybrid-rag-project` (or your preferred name) 3. **Description**: "Hybrid RAG system with semantic and keyword search" 4. **Visibility**: Choose Public or Private 5. **DO NOT** initialize with README, license, or .gitignore (we already have these) 6. Click **Create repository** ### Step 3: Add Remote and Push GitHub will show you commands. Use these: ```bash # Add the remote git remote add origin https://github.com/YOUR_USERNAME/hybrid-rag-project.git # Verify the remote git remote -v # Push to GitHub git branch -M main git push -u origin main ``` ### Alternative: Using SSH If you prefer SSH: ```bash # Add SSH remote git remote add origin git@github.com:YOUR_USERNAME/hybrid-rag-project.git # Push git branch -M main git push -u origin main ``` ## 📝 Post-Push Tasks ### Update Repository URLs in Files After creating the repository, update these files with your actual GitHub URL: 1. **setup.py** (line 21, 23-25): ```python url="https://github.com/YOUR_USERNAME/hybrid-rag-project", project_urls={ "Bug Reports": "https://github.com/YOUR_USERNAME/hybrid-rag-project/issues", ... } ``` 2. **CHANGELOG.md** (bottom): ```markdown - [GitHub Repository](https://github.com/YOUR_USERNAME/hybrid-rag-project) ``` Then commit the changes: ```bash git add setup.py CHANGELOG.md git commit -m "docs: update repository URLs with actual GitHub username" git push ``` ### Add Email to setup.py Update line 17 in `setup.py`: ```python author_email="your.email@example.com", # Update with your actual email ``` ## 🎨 GitHub Repository Setup ### Enable Features 1. Go to **Settings** → **Features** 2. Enable: - ✅ Issues - ✅ Discussions (optional, for Q&A) - ✅ Projects (optional, for project management) ### Add Topics 1. Go to repository main page 2. Click ⚙️ next to "About" 3. Add topics: - `rag` - `retrieval-augmented-generation` - `langchain` - `ollama` - `semantic-search` - `hybrid-search` - `python` - `mcp-server` - `claude` - `llm` ### Create Repository Description In the "About" section, add: ``` 🔍 Hybrid RAG system combining semantic and keyword search with Claude Desktop integration. Supports multiple document formats and local LLM via Ollama. ``` Add website: `https://github.com/YOUR_USERNAME/hybrid-rag-project` ## 📋 Recommended Next Steps ### 1. Create GitHub Actions (CI/CD) Create `.github/workflows/tests.yml`: ```yaml name: Tests on: [push, pull_request] jobs: test: runs-on: ubuntu-latest strategy: matrix: python-version: [3.9, "3.10", "3.11"] steps: - uses: actions/checkout@v3 - name: Set up Python uses: actions/setup-python@v4 with: python-version: ${{ matrix.python-version }} - name: Install dependencies run: | python -m pip install --upgrade pip pip install -r requirements.txt pip install pytest - name: Run tests run: pytest ``` ### 2. Add Badges to README Update README.md with actual CI/CD badges: ```markdown [](https://github.com/YOUR_USERNAME/hybrid-rag-project/actions) [](https://www.python.org/downloads/) [](https://opensource.org/licenses/MIT) ``` ### 3. Create Issue Templates Create `.github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/bug_report.md` and `feature_request.md` ### 4. Add SECURITY.md Create a security policy for reporting vulnerabilities. ## 🔒 Security Considerations ### Files Already Excluded The `.gitignore` is configured to exclude: - ✅ API keys and secrets (`.env`, `.env.local`) - ✅ User data files - ✅ Database files - ✅ Virtual environments - ✅ IDE configuration ### Before Pushing Double-check that no sensitive data is committed: ```bash # Review what will be pushed git log --oneline --all git diff origin/main # Search for potential secrets git grep -i "api_key" git grep -i "password" git grep -i "secret" ``` ## 📊 Repository Structure on GitHub After pushing, your repository will look like: ``` hybrid-rag-project/ ├── .github/ # (Add later for CI/CD) ├── config/ # Configuration templates ├── docs/ # Documentation ├── scripts/ # Executable scripts ├── src/hybrid_rag/ # Core library ├── tests/ # Test files ├── .gitignore ├── CHANGELOG.md ├── CONTRIBUTING.md ├── LICENSE ├── README.md ├── package.sh ├── requirements.txt ├── setup.py └── setup.sh ``` ## 🎯 Marketing Your Project ### Write a Good README Your README.md already includes: - ✅ Badges - ✅ Clear description - ✅ Features list - ✅ Installation instructions - ✅ Usage examples - ✅ Architecture diagram - ✅ Configuration guide ### Share on Social Media Tweet/post about your project: ``` 🚀 Just released Hybrid RAG v2.1.0! 🔍 Combines semantic & keyword search 📄 Supports 5 file formats 🤖 Claude Desktop integration 🏠 100% local with Ollama https://github.com/YOUR_USERNAME/hybrid-rag-project #RAG #LLM #Python #OpenSource ``` ### Submit to Directories - [Awesome LangChain](https://github.com/kyrolabs/awesome-langchain) - [Awesome RAG](https://github.com/gokulkarthik/awesome-RAG) - Python Package Index (PyPI) - if you want to publish ## 🐛 Troubleshooting ### Push Rejected If push is rejected: ```bash # Pull first git pull origin main --rebase # Then push git push origin main ``` ### Large Files Detected If you accidentally committed large files: ```bash # Remove from history git filter-branch --force --index-filter \ "git rm --cached --ignore-unmatch path/to/large/file" \ --prune-empty --tag-name-filter cat -- --all # Force push git push origin main --force ``` ### Wrong Email/Name in Commits ```bash # Amend last commit git commit --amend --author="Your Name <your.email@example.com>" # Force push if already pushed git push --force ``` ## ✅ Final Checklist Before making the repository public: - [ ] All sensitive data removed - [ ] README.md is clear and comprehensive - [ ] LICENSE file is appropriate - [ ] `.gitignore` is complete - [ ] Tests are included (even if basic) - [ ] Documentation is up to date - [ ] Repository URLs updated in files - [ ] Email updated in setup.py - [ ] Git user configured correctly ## 🎉 You're Ready!
