Getting Started with Agents in VS Code

Key Takeaways

Okay, so we are in VS Code and we've just created a new folder. Since this is the first time that anyone without a technical background can build an app or a website or any piece of software, um it's really cool that we're starting to offer in these natural language first and no code abilities within such an unknown developer tool. Okay, so the first thing that we're going to do is just initialize our repository. So, I know there's a lot of intimidation around this. Um, thinking about >> it's a scary button for many devices. [laughter] >> It is. It is. >> Um, but we've made it really easy on the VS Code team to just do this. Um, we've named this folder Cozy Kitchen 1 and our repo is now named Cozy Kitchen One. >> Okay. [snorts] >> So, just with one click, we've created that repo. >> Okay. >> Okay. Um, so the other area of the UI that I really like is this agents panel. M >> um and this is where we'll dump our thoughts and ideas. >> Is this like chat GPT or what is it like >> a little bit except chat GPT can't really um code for you within your actual code editor. >> Got it. >> Um they have other products for that that we also support within VS Code. But >> this is VS Code the tool for real developers. >> Exactly. >> Exactly. >> Got it. [laughter] Um, so with this agent, it's going to just translate our prompts in natural language into actual code changes. In the agents panel, um, there is the option to select between different types of agents. Got it. >> As well as different models. And we support, >> look at the selection there. >> Yeah. So we support a ton of different models.
