chadgpt README

Demo

Not a maintained or reliable thing at this moment, but a very cool proof of concept.

Features

cmd + P ->

• ChadGPT: open chat
• ChadGPT: implement feature - generates a file diff based on an instruction
• ChadGPT: edit selection - generates a file diff based on the currently selected code and an instruction
• ChadGPT: debug command - runs a command in a sandbox and generates file diffs until there is no more error.
  • ! Right now, you have to build your own image and tag it as chadgpt-sandbox:latest for this to work. See notes below.
• ChadGPT: restart sandbox - kills the sandbox container, rebuild the image and restarts the container

Dev setup:

• build the frontend:

cd chadgpt-webview
npm install
npm run build

• install the dependencies of the extension: npm install
• Install the vscode extension from this folder via cmd+shift+P + Developer: Install extension from path

Controlling which files are visible

!! Currently not implemented, how should this work with the sandbox?!! Files mentioned in .gitignore and .chadignore are ignored. Files mentioned in .chadinclude are visible, the latter has priority over ignore rules and can be used to make docs available.

Using the debug command

ChadGPT allows you to debug commands in a sandbox docker container. For this to work, you need to have a Dockerfile. ChadGPT gets access to a terminal with the cwd mounted and network access to perform GET, HEAD and PUT operations. It can modify files in the mounted directory so use with caution!

The files are added only after the image is build, so you may need to move some commands (like pip install -r requirements.txt) from your Dockerfile to e.g. a setup.sh. Then, the debug command should be: source setup.sh && {cmd}.

Requirements

• The sandbox starts an image tagged as chadgpt-sandbox:latest. ChadGPT should build this image if it doesn't find it, but this doesn't work currently. Add the following lines to your Dockerfile, or checkout the Dockerfile-sandbox as a reference:

RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y iptables screen
RUN update-alternatives --set iptables /usr/sbin/iptables-legacy
RUN update-alternatives --set ip6tables /usr/sbin/ip6tables-legacy

Requirements

• docker if you want to use the debug command
• your own OpenAi API key
