Setting up Entelligence for VSCode

This guide provides instructions on how to use the explore feature on a website and integrate it with VS Code. This feature allows engineers to view all responses within their code editor while making real-time changes. Entelligence supports all key cloud functionality within VSCode as well including drawing diagrams, searching for PRs and issues, onboarding guides and more.

Step 1:

Click on Open in VS Code. This will take you to another temporary screen that will then redirect you to the VSCode application.

Step 2:

On the new page, click on Open in Visual Studio Code two. This will open the application.

Once the application is open, it will add Entelligence AI. You can add Entelligence chat either to the left hand panel or drag the icon to the top right so that it doesn't interfere with the file explorer on the left hand side.

Step 3:

Click on Log in. After logging in, the application will auto-detect the repository in use. You can change the repository that you are chatting with at any time by clicking on the drop down menu. This will bring up the entire list of organization and user codebases that you have set up in Entelligence cloud.

Step 4:

By default, you will be greeted with a new chat and the intro questions every time you open VSCode. If you want to revisit the conversation history for a codebase you've been chatting with click on History. This will pull all the conversations from the web UI, allowing continuation from where the work was left off.

Additionally all the commands from the web UI are also available in VSCode, and clicking on any of the follow-up questions will provide further understanding of the implementation. This one-click interoperability between the web and VS Code simplifies understanding and integrating with any code base.
