This will be a visual studio code extension that allows you to comment your code thanks to the OpenAI GPT-3.

To create a piece of software that generates comments for code I will be using and integrating the GPT model's API along with the Visual Studio Code's Extension API. I will be using JavaScript for the Code Extension API. Once I have connected the two API's, I will need to provide the GPT-3 API with the code as input, and the model will generate a relevant comment for the code.

1. Decide on the programming language I will use for your extension.

2. Set up my development environment. Install any libraries or packages necessary for making API calls to ChatGPT, such as the OpenAI API client library.

3. Understand the Extension API, how to read, write, give error messages, define a keybinding for the commands, etc, ...

4. Define a command that will call the ChatGPT API to generate comments for code. Create a function that takes the user's code as input, makes a call to the ChatGPT API, and returns the generated comment. Use the OpenAI API client library.

5. Test the extension.

6. Publish the extension.

This is the README for your extension "commentgenius". After writing up a brief description, we recommend including the following sections.

Describe specific features of your extension including screenshots of your extension in action. Image paths are relative to this README file.

For example if there is an image subfolder under your extension project workspace:


Tip: Many popular extensions utilize animations. This is an excellent way to show off your extension! We recommend short, focused animations that are easy to follow.

If you have any requirements or dependencies, add a section describing those and how to install and configure them.

Include if your extension adds any VS Code settings through the contributes.configuration extension point.

For example:

This extension contributes the following settings:

• myExtension.enable: Enable/disable this extension.
• myExtension.thing: Set to blah to do something.

Calling out known issues can help limit users opening duplicate issues against your extension.

Users appreciate release notes as you update your extension.
