The VS Code Code Helper Extension provides helpful features to assist you with code-related tasks, such as explaining code, generating test cases, refactoring code, and adding comments to methods. It leverages the power of OpenAI's GPT-3.5 language model to provide intelligent suggestions and automate repetitive tasks.
Features
Explain Code: This feature allows you to select a piece of code and get a simplified explanation of the code in simple words.
