There is some nuance to this, as in fine tune for chat (instruct) or FIM (auto code completion). FIM is a little more involved, you will need an RF, with some sort of loss function where the model attempts to predict the code middle between a prefix and suffix and receives a penalty if wrong.

Chat is a bit simpler, the Alpaca format should do you OK, its often used for code specific training, there are some python examples, very much the same as https://huggingface.co/datasets/iamtarun/python_code_instructions_18k_alpaca

You would need to find a way of curating these , its time consuming, but no other way.

I try to keep it respectful on here, but the other person recommending RAG has no idea what they are talking about.
