Title: Integrating Ollama into RepoGPT: Thoughts and Feedback Needed!

Body:

Hello RepoGPT Community,

We're excited to explore the possibility of integrating Ollama into RepoGPT to enable local AI capabilities! 🎉

What is Ollama?

Ollama is an open-source platform that allows developers to run large language models (LLMs) like Llama 2 locally on their machines. This means you can leverage powerful AI models without relying on external APIs or cloud services.

Why Integrate Ollama with RepoGPT?

• Enhanced Privacy: Keep your code and queries local, reducing the need to send data over the internet.
• Cost Savings: Eliminate API costs associated with cloud-based AI services.
• Offline Accessibility: Use RepoGPT's AI features even without an internet connection.
• Customization: Potentially fine-tune models to better suit your specific repositories and use cases.

Potential Challenges

• Resource Requirements: Running large models locally can be resource-intensive.
• Setup Complexity: Additional steps may be required for users to install and configure Ollama and the associated models.
• Model Performance: Local models may not match the performance of cloud-based offerings in some cases.

We Need Your Input!

• Interest Level: Would you be interested in using RepoGPT with local AI capabilities via Ollama?
• Use Cases: How would local AI processing benefit your workflow?
• Technical Feedback: Do you have experience with Ollama or similar tools? Any tips or considerations we should be aware of?
• Concerns: Any reservations or challenges you foresee with this integration?
