Features

• Code Explanation: Get instant explanations for code snippets while browsing GitHub.
• No external API calls. Everything happens on your machine. It is designed with Local LLM Inference in mind, for a privacy first experience.
• Extensible: Works on github.com by default but is extensible to work with other websites like gitlab, jupyter notebooks, etc. Simply update your manifest.json and provide host_permissions to your favorite websites to understand code.
• Support for Multiple Languages: Currently this extension has been tested with SOTA microsoft-phi-2 and performs best with python codebases. Stay tuned for multiple language support
• Easy to Use: Simply select over a piece of code and press x+p together (short for xplain) to get an explanation.
