Show context

These days, I usually paste my entire (or some) repo into gemini and then APPLY changes back into my code using this handy script i wrote: https://github.com/asadm/vibemode

I have tried aider/copilot/continue/etc. But they lack in one way or the other.

Why not just select Gemini Pro 2.5 in Copilot with Edit mode? Virtually unlimited use without extra fees.

Copilot used to be useless, but over the last few months has become quite excellent once edit mode was added.

copilot (and others) try to be too smart and do context reduction (to save their own wallets). I want ENTIRETY of the files I attached to context, not RAG-ed version of it.

Is that why it’s so bad? I’ve been blown away by how bad it is. Never had a single successful edit.

The code completion is chefs kiss though.

probably but also most models start to lose it after a certain context size (usually 10-20k). Which is why I use gemini (via aistudio) for my workflow.
