To enable most of the extensions to work while using git linked to a repo the following (potentially risky) options need to be added to the top (or to an individual workspaces settings.json instead). These are NOT recommended while operating on other people code however.. Unless you completely trust the codebase.

    "security.workspace.trust.untrustedFiles": "open",
    "security.workspace.trust.banner": "always",
    "security.workspace.trust.enabled": false,


Also, i use the extenion 'GitHub Copilot'. However that one is not free (but it comes with a free 30 day trial).
The chat hasnt been incredibly helpful to me.. But it suggests code while you type.. and it learns from what you do. So the longer you use it, the better it gets. If, for example, every piece of every widget inside of a codebase requires the same 3 or 4 methods, and they all function relatively the same way.. adding one of those lines of code literally becomes <enter> <tab> done.

more advanced functions that it tries to write for you typically need tweaking.. but, that is not always the case, and sometimes I find I prefer its suggestion to what I was going to put myself.

Remove color theme definition. It's a user preference, not language necessity.

done. anything else?

I'll see once I'm down to actual code.
