Tool Information

OpenRefactorAI is a powerful tool that helps developers refactor their code efficiently right within Visual Studio Code.

OpenRefactorAI is an impressive extension tailored for Visual Studio Code. It harnesses OpenAI's capabilities to refactor your code with precision and depth, making it suitable for complex tasks in any programming language. This integration means you can streamline your code without ever having to switch out of your development environment.

With OpenRefactorAI, you can easily select any snippet of code and utilize the power of OpenAI to refactor it. Plus, if you want to keep track of your changes or reuse refactoring instructions later, you have that option too! While the refactoring is in progress, you'll see a handy progress indicator, letting you know when everything is done.

To get started with OpenRefactorAI, you'll need an OpenAI API key. Setting it up is straightforward; you just drop it into the command palette after you’ve installed the extension. Looking ahead, there are exciting plans for the tool, including the ability to refactor multiple files at once and enhancements to the progress notifications, giving you updates in real-time.

If you encounter any hiccups while using the extension, you can report them on the GitHub issues page. And if you’re keen to pitch in and help improve OpenRefactorAI, you’re welcome to fork the repository and submit a pull request. The project is open-source and licensed under the MIT License, encouraging collaboration and innovation.
