Communicate in natural language
Read and write files directly in your workspace
Run terminal commands
Automate browser actions
Integrate with any OpenAI-compatible or custom API/model

Local Setup & Development

Clone the repo:

git clone https://github.com/RooVetGit/Roo-Code.git

Install dependencies:

npm run install:all

Start the webview (Vite/React app with HMR):

npm run dev

Debug: Press F5 (or Run → Start Debugging) in VSCode to open a new session with Roo Code loaded.

Changes to the webview will appear immediately. Changes to the core extension will require a restart of the extension host.

Alternatively you can build a .vsix and install it directly in VSCode:

npm run build

A .vsix file will appear in the bin/ directory which can be installed with:

code --install-extension bin/roo-cline-<version>.vsix

We use changesets for versioning and publishing. Check our CHANGELOG.md for release notes.
