About OpenRefactor
OpenRefactorAI is a robust extension for Visual Studio Code, designed to use the capabilities of OpenAI to refactor code with specificity and accuracy. It allows for complex refactoring tasks across any programming language, utilizing the power of Language Model learning. The tool is integrated directly into the Visual Studio Code IDE, enabling users to refactor their code without needing to leave their development environment. Users can select a piece of code and refactor it using OpenAI, optionally saving refactoring instructions for future use. The extension also provides a progress indicator during the refactoring process, informing the user when the task is complete. To use OpenRefactorAI, an OpenAI API key is required, which can be set in the command palette after installation. Further planned advancements include support for multi-file refactoring and progress indication enhancements through a streamed response. Any issues with the extension can be reported on the GitHub issues page. Those wishing to contribute to OpenRefactorAI can do so through forking the repository and submitting a pull request.
