New VS Code Extension Simplifies Copying Repository Context for AI Chatbots

Developer effessdev has released 'ReptClip for VS Code,' a new extension designed to streamline the process of feeding project code into AI chatbots like Gemini or ChatGPT. Building on the functionality of the original ReptClip CLI tool, this extension allows users to select specific files or directories and copy them to the clipboard as clean, formatted Markdown. Key features include an intuitive UI, real-time file suggestions, and per-project configuration storage. By eliminating the need for manual file copying and formatting, the tool aims to improve developer workflows, especially for those relying on LLMs for coding assistance. The extension is available on the VS Code Marketplace and Open VSX, with the source code hosted on GitHub. This release marks a significant improvement over the CLI version by offering better glob pattern handling and syntax highlighting, making it a practical utility for developers integrating AI into their daily coding routines.
