Welcome to What-The-Code – the VS Code extension that’s like having a super-powered, code-obsessed sidekick (minus the spandex). Whether you’re a coding wizard or just trying to survive your next project, this tool is here to make your life easier, cleaner, and a lot more fun.
What does it do?
Ask your code anything! (in plain English, no jargon required)
Find and zap dead code (unused stuff hiding in your files)
Save file snapshots before you break things (and restore them when you do)
No PhD in computer science required. Just install, plug in your Gemini API key, and let the magic happen. ✨
How to Get Started
Install from the VS Code Marketplace (it’s free, and so is the good karma)
Grab a Gemini API key from Google AI Studio (takes 2 minutes, promise)
Pop your API key into VS Code settings (search for "What-The-Code")
PressCtrl+Shift+Alt+K to start chatting with your code, or use the sidebar for more cool stuff
Why you’ll love it
Talk to your codebase like it’s your buddy
Clean up dead code (unused imports, functions, and more) with a click
Automatic backups (because we all make mistakes)
Restore files from snapshots (undo button, but cooler)
Works with lots of languages (but especially loves JavaScript/TypeScript)
