This VS Code extension provides direct access to ChatGPT's capabilities within the editor, enabling users to query, debug, explain, and refactor code. It targets developers seeking to integrate AI-powered assistance into their workflow for enhanced productivity and code quality.

How It Works

The extension leverages the official OpenAI library to interact with ChatGPT. Users authenticate via their OpenAI API key and can then invoke various commands, such as code explanation or test generation, directly from the VS Code command palette or context menu.

Quick Start & Requirements

• Install from VSCode MarketPlace or build from source.
• Requires an OpenAI API key.
• Commands: yarn setup, yarn compile, yarn vscode:package, yarn vscode:install.

Highlighted Details

• Commands available via context menu for selected code.
• Features include code explanation, refactoring, and test generation.
• API key management integrated for authentication.

Maintenance & Community

Support is provided by opening issues on the GitHub repository. The project acknowledges inspiration from other VS Code extensions.

Licensing & Compatibility

The README does not specify a license. Compatibility for commercial or closed-source use is not detailed.

Limitations & Caveats

The extension's development process, including the README generation, was humorously attributed to "ChatGPT and 5 beers," suggesting potential for unpolished aspects or unexpected behavior. No specific limitations or known bugs are listed.
