Continue: Your AI-Powered Autopilot for Software Development

Continue is an open-source VS Code extension leveraging ChatGPT to supercharge your coding workflow. It streamlines code generation, refactoring, and understanding, making development significantly easier.

Features

• Code Generation: Effortlessly create new files from scratch, including Python scripts, React components, database connectors (e.g., Postgres), IAM policies, and SQL queries.
• Code Refactoring: Use natural language commands to modify existing code. Transform plots, rewrite functions (e.g., making them asynchronous), and migrate configurations between cloud platforms (e.g., from Digital Ocean Terraform to Google Cloud Platform).
• Code Explanation & Alternatives: Highlight code sections and ask Continue for alternative solutions or explanations. Get insights on complex tasks such as setting up cascading deletes in Prisma schemas, backend request placement in web pages, or iframe communication.

Benefits

• Increased Efficiency: Automate repetitive tasks and generate code quickly, saving valuable development time.
• Improved Code Quality: Refactor code with ease, ensuring cleaner, more maintainable codebases.
• Enhanced Understanding: Gain deeper insights into existing code and explore alternative coding approaches.

Use Cases

• Generating a React component for a specific UI element.
• Refactoring a function to improve performance or readability.
• Understanding a complex algorithm by asking for an explanation.
• Creating a new SQL query to retrieve specific data from a database.
• Migrating infrastructure code between cloud providers.

Continue empowers developers with AI-assisted coding, improving productivity and code quality.
