Setup

To use this extension, install it from the VSCode marketplace.

After the installation is complete, you will need to add your OpenAI API key to the extension settings in VSCode. To do this, open the Settings panel by going to the File menu and selecting Preferences, then Settings.
In the search bar, type CodeAuto to filter the settings list.
In the CodeAuto API Url section, enter your API key in the top field

After completing these steps, the extension should be ready to use.

Obtaining API key

To use this extension, you will need an API key from OpenAI. To obtain one, follow these steps:

Go to OpenAI's website. If you don't have an account, you will need to create one or sign up using your Google or Microsoft account.
Click on the Create new secret key button.
Copy the key and paste it into the API Key field in the extension settings.

Settings

The extension can be configured or customized by changing several settings. You can choose between ChatGPT and GPT4 by changing the Model setting (only if you already have access to GPT4 API). A custom API URL can also be set in the API URL field (probably looks something like https://openai.xxxxxx.net/v1, can be used to connect to a self-hosted instance of the API or a proxy).

Using the Extension

To use the extension, open a text editor in Visual Studio Code and open the CodeAuto panel by clicking on the CodeAuto icon in the sidebar. This will open a panel with an input field where you can enter your prompt or question. By clicking enter, the request will be sent to ChatGPT. Its response will be displayed below the input field in the sidebar (note that it may take some time for the response)

To insert a code snippet from the AI's response into the editor, simply click on the code block in the panel. The code will be automatically inserted at the cursor position in the active editor.

You can select some code in the editor, right click on it and choose one of the following shortcuts from the context menu:

Commands:

CodeAuto : Unit Test script: helps to write the unit test of the given code
CodeAuto : Code refactoring: will try to refactor the selected code
