Paweł CiosekIn the recent post, I write about using codellama as our local version of code assistant.
There was a sentence:
The extension do not support code completion, if you know extension that support code completion, please let me know in the comments. 🙏
You know what? I found a way to use llama to support code autocompletion! 🥳
As you guess 🤓 you need ollama installed locally, if you don't have, take a look to the previous post 🙏
So what we need:
- ollama model codellama:7b-code
- extension CodyAI -> https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=sourcegraph.cody-ai
Let's configure it together, step by step! 🧑💻
Download codellama:7b-code
Extension require this model, you cannot choose any other 🫣, but it is pretty good optimised to the job ⚙️
ollama pull codellama:7b-code
Install CodyAI extension
You gonna find it in an extension browser bar by searching "cody ai"
Configure CodyAI to use ollama as your companion
- go to vs code settings
- put inside search bar: cody.autocomplete.advanced.provider
- you should see the option
- set it to "experimental-ollama"
Make sure CodyAI autocompletion is enabled
- Click on CodyAI icon at the bottom right bar
- make sure option "Code autocomplete" is enabled
Make sure you are running ollama
That seems obvious, but it's worth reminding! 😅
Test it!
Summary
So right now you can have ollama supporting you as chat assistant and with code autocompletion as well! 🤩
Locally, secure and free! 🆓
Did you try ollama as code companion? What do you think about it?
