# Adding repositories to the knowledge base

> Single, batch, search/explore ingest, removal, and independence from Stars

## Ingest methods

| Method             | Best for               | How                                                                           |
| ------------------ | ---------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Detail heart       | One curated repo       | Open detail → Add to knowledge base                                           |
| Multi-select batch | Dozens at once         | [Batch operations](/manage-stars/batch-operations)                            |
| Search / Explore   | Discover and collect   | Ingest control on results                                                     |
| Status linkage     | Repos you actively use | Prompt on **using** status → [Notes & status](/manage-stars/notes-and-status) |

## Batch steps

<Steps>
  <Step title="Enter multi-select">List toolbar → multi-select.</Step>
  <Step title="Select repos">Narrow with [filters](/search/filters) first if needed.</Step>
  <Step title="Add to knowledge base">Confirm in the bottom bar.</Step>
  <Step title="Check index">Open [RAG workspace](/knowledge-base/rag-workspace) and watch coverage rise.</Step>
</Steps>

## After ingest

1. Fetch README and other sources into local cache
2. Chunk and build keyword / vector index (requires Embedding)
3. Include in default RAG retrieval scope

Progress and failures → [Index management](/knowledge-base/index-management).

## Remove from knowledge base

Tap the ingest control again. Removed repos leave default RAG; whether local cache is deleted immediately depends on app behavior.

## Empty library

The workspace guides you to ingest first. Do not expect “starred but not ingested” repos to answer across your full collection.

## Independence recap

```text theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark"}}
Star   ──✗──► auto-ingest
Unstar ──✗──► auto-remove
Ingest ──✓──► can be not starred
```
