Not Indexed
Codebase is If you are logged into Sourcegraph.com, only public open source repositories on this list are indexed. Please join the Sourcegraph Discord and message the #cody-embeddings
channel to get an open source repository added to the public index.
If you’re connected to a Sourcegraph Enterprise instance, please ask your site admin to Configure Code Graph Context for your Sourcegraph instance and then Enable Cody for your account.
If you've completed the above and still seeing your codebase showing up as NOT INDEXED
, try updating the Cody: Codebase

) setting in VS Code to the repository name as listed on your Sourcegraph instance.
