DevPartner is a VSCode extension designed to act as a Coding Buddy, helping you solve coding problems, providing suggestions, and acting as a programming assistant similar to CoPilot, but with an integration to locally hosted LLaMA models. It uses an AI-powered large language model (LLM) to assist in your coding tasks.

Requirements
To use DevPartner, you need the following:
A locally installed LLaMA 3.1 model and its associated API.
Proper configuration of the LLaMA API to be accessible at localhost on port 11434.
Follow these steps to set up the API:
Download and install the LLaMA model on your machine.
Ensure the API is running by executing the following command:
ollama serve
Verify the API is running by checking it with Postman or a simple curl request.
Extension Settings
This extension contributes the following settings:
DevPartner.apiUrl: Set the URL for your LLaMA server. Default is http://localhost:11434/api/generate.
DevPartner.maxTokens: Configure the maximum number of tokens in a response.
Known Issues
