Editing code in SourceCraft Code Assistant
You can edit your project code in the SourceCraft interface, including adding new files or directories. You can introduce changes directly into the repository branch or via a pull request.
The SourceCraft code editor comes with a built-in component called Code Assistant.
Code Assistant is an AI-driven developer assistant based on large language models (LLM)s. With Code Assistant, you can optimize the code writing process and increase your performance.
The smart autocompletion mode enables the AI assistant to analyze the code context and come up with the most relevant suggestions for functions, cycles, conditions, and other elements.
Code Assistant also features a chat mode you can use to interact with the AI assistant in the IDE interface.
