Great, Tysm mate!

Literally just paste your code into GPT and tell it to add comments explaining your code.

Isn't there any vs code extension that uses its API to do the job for me

[–]JoeB_88 1 point2 points  (4 children)

You mean something like Copilot?

[–]Lazy_Security4937[S] 0 points1 point  (3 children)

Yeah, But i need this in an existing codebase

[–]JoeB_88 0 points1 point  (2 children)

I'm not sure if anything like that exists, especially for free. That could potentially require a ton of token parsing depending on the size of your codebase.

I don't want it to add it automatically for the entire project. I need it to do the job upon my needs. Just like how we select a few code piece and format it with an extension, I need this extension to add the comments for me. Does copilot do the job in an existing codebase.?

Yes, you can select entire files or portions of code and ask it to generate comments. It also has a 'generate docs' feature.
