GitNexus CLI Commands

All commands work via

npx

— no global install required.

Commands

analyze — Build or refresh the index

bash

npx gitnexus analyze

Run from the project root. This parses all source files, builds the knowledge graph, writes it to

.gitnexus/

, and generates CLAUDE.md / AGENTS.md context files.

Flag	Effect
`--force`	Force full re-index even if up to date
`--embeddings`	Enable embedding generation for semantic search (off by default)

When to run: First time in a project, after major code changes, or when

gitnexus://repo/{name}/context

reports the index is stale.

status — Check index freshness

bash

npx gitnexus status

Shows whether the current repo has a GitNexus index, when it was last updated, and symbol/relationship counts. Use this to check if re-indexing is needed.

clean — Delete the index

bash

npx gitnexus clean

Deletes the

.gitnexus/

directory and unregisters the repo from the global registry. Use before re-indexing if the index is corrupt or after removing GitNexus from a project.

Flag	Effect
`--force`	Skip confirmation prompt
`--all`	Clean all indexed repos, not just the current one

wiki — Generate documentation from the graph

bash

npx gitnexus wiki

Generates repository documentation from the knowledge graph using an LLM. Requires an API key (saved to

~/.gitnexus/config.json

on first use).

Flag	Effect
`--force`	Force full regeneration
`--model <model>`	LLM model (default: minimax/minimax-m2.5)
`--base-url <url>`	LLM API base URL
`--api-key <key>`	LLM API key
`--concurrency <n>`	Parallel LLM calls (default: 3)
`--gist`	Publish wiki as a public GitHub Gist

list — Show all indexed repos

bash

npx gitnexus list

Lists all repositories registered in

~/.gitnexus/registry.json

. The MCP

list_repos

tool provides the same information.

After Indexing

Read
gitnexus://repo/{name}/context
to verify the index loaded
Use the other GitNexus skills (
```
exploring
```
,
```
debugging
```
,
```
impact-analysis
```
,
```
refactoring
```
) for your task

Troubleshooting

"Not inside a git repository": Run from a directory inside a git repo
Index is stale after re-analyzing: Restart Claude Code to reload the MCP server
Embeddings slow: Omit
```
--embeddings
```
(it's off by default) or set
```
OPENAI_API_KEY
```
for faster API-based embedding
