This extension uses several techniques to minimize sync time:
| Technique |
Description |
Impact |
| Repository-level diff check |
Compares latest commit SHA for each repository before syncing. If no changes detected, skips the entire sync. |
150s → 6s (no changes) |
| Parallel processing |
Fetches repository trees, file contents, and commit history concurrently (5 concurrent requests). |
150s → 15s |
| Background auto-sync |
MCP server automatically syncs in background on startup when data is stale (>1 hour). User never waits. |
Instant response |
| Incremental sync |
Only fetches files changed since last sync using commit history. |
15s → 5s (few changes) |
| Pre-seeded database |
Ships with a seed database for instant use on first launch. |
No initial wait |
