Tabby is another alternative. https://github.com/TabbyML/tabby

Tabby does completion while continue is more chat from memory? There is also refact

Yes, Tabby focuses on auto-completion. We're more similar to continue.dev at this point of time. Will add comparison table soon.

So, you essentially took my project ( https://github.com/rubberduck-ai/rubberduck-vscode ), and instead of contributing to it or forking it, you recommitted all the code under your own name, with a few small tweaks. To be fair, I saw that you give credit, but it's kind of disappointing still given that prob 98% of the project is the work of the Rubberduck contributors. I know Rubberduck is not that active any more, b…

Hi @lgrammel, my intention was not to undermine the contributions made by you and others. Added all the original missing contributor's list to the repo. The commit link is http://tinyurl.com/2uzdefak.

Nice work, but it's unfortunately named. A privy also refers to a latrine.

Given that this project was started well after Continue.dev, I think it would be useful to include an FAQ or a comparison table on what exactly makes this different.

I was thinking more in terms of something like secret or private :)

Will add comparison table soon.

This seems really cool, thanks for sharing! The thing I find the most valuable about Copilot is it living directly in VSCode. Understand it's not trivial and this has one public commit, but long-term do you have plans to move closer to the editor? How do you see this in relation to other projects like continue.dev?

Yes, absolutely. The goal is to come as close as possible to GitHub copilot in terms of DX. Will add a comparison table soon with other players in the space like continue.dev, TabbyML etc.

Considering both repositories are on Github, actually forking it instead of re-commiting it all as 'init commit' would be a good start. As you said, nothing compels srikanth235 to do this though, but it's a generally more respectable (acceptable?) way to continue someone elses work as a new project. Also not sure why you had to bring the race of srikanth235 into it.

You need to step back, cool down and get some perspective. No rational person on the planet could interpret his critique as having any racism or even racist undertones.

srikanth235 made the right move by acknowledging the contributor list from the previous project that was lost due to this repo not being a fork of the original.

Why are you bringing nationality politics into this when it's clearly not relevant?

Thanks, I appreciate it! Good luck with the project!
