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.

FWIW, Edit mode gives the impression of doing this, vs. originally only passing the context visible from the open window.

You can choose files to include and they don't appear to be truncated in any way. Though to be fair, I haven't checked the network traffic, but it appears to operate in this fashion from day to day use.

i will try again but last i tried adding folder to edit mode and asking it to list down files it sees, it didn't list them all down.

I like to use "Open Editors". That way, it's only the code I'm currently working on that is added to the context, seems more a more natural way to work.
