Research direction

Locate the source for the Langbase onboarding guides and inspect the BaseAI CLI v0.9.34 flow and generated config. Update the outdated Step 3, document changing the git.include glob patterns, and review the other onboarding guidance and code examples for the stated .env and OpenAI key requirements.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Couldn't find the docs source to make the changes myself, hence opening the issue.

Step 3 in the guide states:

STEP #3 Specify File Extensions

Next, it will ask you which files extensions you want to track. Since we are creating a memory for docs, you can provide a comma-separated list of file extensions like .mdx,.md to track markdown files.

However, the current BaseAI CLI (v0.9.34+) does NOT prompt for:

  • Directory path to track
  • File extensions to track

In version 0.9.34 (November 26, 2024), the memory configuration was simplified. This simplification was updated in the baseAI docs atleast but not in the Langbase onboarding guides leading to uncertainty and friction in the onboarding steps about whether we are using the correct version or if the setup is working properly.

Expected Fix

This among several other details like needing to create .env file for API keys, needing OpenAI keys to start deployment are few more issues which makes me think the onboarding guide is infact outdated and needs some love. Ideally, I would

  1. Remove Step 3 about file extensions prompt
  2. Add a step explaining how to modify the git.include glob patterns in the generated config file
  3. Review all other onboarding guides and any code examples
