1 min read
Summary
ChatGPT can be added to Visual Studio Code to help with coding, offering intelligent code completion and easy debugging.
An active OpenAI account is needed to use ChatGPT features along with a stable internet connection.
VSCode needs to have the permission to install extensions and you should have an OpenAI API key.
After meeting the prerequisites, install a ChatGPT extension and access VS Code’s extension marketplace to add CodeGPT, then click the icon on the left side to open the panel and login to your account.
Go to OpenAI’s website and navigate to the API Platform section to generate a new secret key, specifying a name, and copy the key.
In VSCode, open the command palette and search for “CodeGPT: Set API Key,” pasting in the OpenAI API key to configure the CodeGPT.
To use ChatGPT in VS Code, click the CodeGPT icon on the left sidebar to start using ChatGPT prompts for AI assistance.
