In this riveting episode of 1littlecoder, we delve into the world of Gemini code assist, Google's latest tool for coding enthusiasts. It's like having a trusty sidekick in your coding adventures, available for free with ample usage limits. While it's not here to obliterate your cursor or any existing tools, it does pack a punch akin to GitHub Copilot. This gem can be found in the Visual Studio code Marketplace, ready to enhance your coding experience.
Upon installation, you'll be prompted to sign in with Google, ensuring a personalized touch to your coding journey. With options to generate, fix, or explain code, Gemini code assist becomes your coding confidant. However, be prepared for a slower pace compared to its counterparts like Cursor or Copilot. It shines when tackling extensive codebases or making tweaks to single files, but don't expect it to craft code from scratch flawlessly.
For those seeking to understand existing code, Gemini code assist excels in providing explanations with just a few clicks. It may occasionally fall short by generating incomplete code, requiring a keen eye for refinement. While it struggles with creating code from the ground up, it thrives in editing snippets or entire files within your project. Remember, this tool is here to assist, not replace your coding prowess. So, buckle up and let Gemini code assist take your coding endeavors to new heights!
