		scottmf on Nov 9, 2023 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Copilot for Docs I switched to Cursor (VSCode fork) a couple of months ago. It does this already and I haven’t looked back since. Especially as the copilot extension (along with all my others) work out of the box. It has full knowledge of your entire codebase rather than being limited to currently open files (I assume embeddings with RAG) and will index documentation (or any other URL). I find it especially useful for things like Swift/SwiftUI APIs given how quickly they can evolve, not to mention copilot’s other limitations when it comes to languages beyond JS/TS, Python, etc

How can you be sure Cursor isn’t just pilfering your entire codebase? Where’s the trust factor? Does look cool tho

copilot recently added feature to "ask your codebase"
