An VS Code ChatGPT Copilot Extension

The Most Loved Open-Source ChatGPT Extension for VS Code

ChatGPT Copilot is a powerful extension for Visual Studio Code, bringing the capabilities of ChatGPT directly into your coding environment. Built on the popular gencay/vscode-chatgpt, which has been downloaded by over 500,000 developers.

Unfortunately, the original author has decided to stop maintaining the project, and the new recommended Genie AI extension is not open-source. This fork continues the development to keep the project open and accessible to everyone.
