Tabby VSCode Extension

CB Coding Assistant is an open-source, self-hosted AI coding assistant designed to help you write code more efficiently.

Autocomplete

CB Coding Assistant suggests multi-line code completions and full functions in real-time as you write code.

Chat

CB Coding Assistant can answer general coding questions and specific questions about your codebase with its chat functionality. Here are a few ways to utilize it:

• Start a session in the chat view from the activity bar.
• Select some code and use commands such as CBML: Explain This to ask questions about your selection.
• Request code edits directly by using the CBML: Start Inline Editing command (shortcut: Ctrl/Cmd+I).

Getting Started

Once you have installed the Cbml VSCode extension, you can easily get started by following the built-in walkthrough guides.

1. Connect the extension to your cbml server: Use the command CBML: Connect to Server... to connect the extension to your cbml server.
   • Note: If your cbml server requires an authentication token, a notification will be displayed, and you can set the token by following the prompt.

Once the setup is complete, Cbml will automatically provide inline suggestions. You can accept the suggestions by simply pressing the Tab key.

If you prefer to trigger code completion manually, you can select the manual trigger option in the settings. After that, use the shortcut Alt + \ to trigger code completion. To access the settings page, use the command CB Coding Assistant : Open Settings.
