Django Helper Product Information

**Django Helper VS Code Extension” is a set of tools and assistants designed to streamline Django development inside Visual Studio Code. It provides Copilot-assisted help, Django documentation chat, and quick access to Django resources directly in the editor. The extension aims to improve productivity by offering context-aware guidance, easy navigation of Django docs, and integration with GitHub Copilot.

  2. Choose your assistance mode:
  • Copilot Assistance: Chat with the Django prefix "@django" in GitHub Copilot chat (requires a GitHub Copilot subscription).
  • GPT-4o Assistance: Open the GPT-4o chat via the activity bar to get responses based on Django documentation.
  1. (Optional) Try the Live Demo to see the extension in action before integrating it into your workflow.
  2. Start a chat with your Django questions and receive guidance tied to Django docs and best practices.

Note: The extension emphasizes quick access to Django documentation and AI-assisted help to accelerate common tasks, code queries, and framework usage.
