Gemini Autocomplete README

A less intrusive AI Autocomplete Extension that works for my uses but feel free to use it as well.

Setting up

Get an Gemini API key from https://aistudio.google.com/app/apikey and set it as GEMINI_API_KEY as an environment variable or set it as gemini-autocomplete.geminiAPIKey in your VSCode settings.

Features

Ask Gemini for coding help using @. It will search everything that is on that line. You can modify this character with gemini-autocomplete.promptCharacter in your VSCode settings.

Additionally get multiline input to provide context using > Gemini Assistant: Activate Gemini Assistant or by using the shortcut alt + g (can also modify this in your settings)

Support languages include javascript, typescript, python, cpp, rust, kotlin, c, go, java, php, ruby, swift, objective-c, perl, shellscript, scala, haskell, dart, r, matlab, lua, css, html

Privacy and Data Collection

This extension does not collect any user data however information is being sent to Google Gemini's API. Only the lines that are selected are sent to Gemini.

To Do

• [ ] Instead of CompletionItem maybe use grayed out text
• [x] Allow multiline questions to provide context
• [ ] Maybe set up GitHub CI (is this really needed?)
• [x] Auto Activate
• [ ] Update gif to not include activate
• [ ] Add Llama and ChatGPT eventually
