What is chatgpt-vscode?
ChatGPT Extension for VSCode is a Visual Studio Code plugin that integrates OpenAI's ChatGPT directly into the code editor. It allows developers to ask questions about their code, get explanations, refactor selections, find problems, and optimize code using natural language prompts without switching to a browser. The extension maintains conversation context and enables direct insertion of AI-generated code snippets.
Developers using Visual Studio Code who want AI assistance directly in their editor for code understanding, refactoring, debugging, and learning. Particularly useful for programmers seeking explanations of unfamiliar code or wanting to improve existing code with AI suggestions.
It eliminates context switching by bringing ChatGPT into the development environment, offers specialized code-focused commands through right-click menus, and maintains conversation context for follow-up questions. Unlike web-based ChatGPT, it integrates directly with the editor workflow and selected code.
