The latest version of VS Code has some awesome updates, here are the ones I'm particularly happy about:
-
GitHub Copilot Chat Extension
- Chat with GitHub Copilot can include context about the workspace so you can ask questions about the code base
- Ask for Terminal CLI command suggestions or for explanations of the command if there's an error
- Generate commit messages! There are a lot of open source examples of how to do this with ChatGPT and other LLMs, it's nice to see it built into an extension
- Now supports text-to-speech with the VS Code Speech extension
- Python extension
- Pylint, mypy and flake8 support glob patterns for excluding files
- Built-in linting and formatting is moved to the extensions. What's really neat is their suggestion to use the ruff extension. Ruff is a fast Rust-based linter and formatter for the Python programming language.
