Installer Sourcegraph Cody dans VS Code : connexion, éditions inline et chat codebase

Installer l’extension Cody, terminer la connexion Enterprise, puis obtenir la première suggestion inline ou poser une question codebase avec @ dans votre dépôt.

The first hour with Sourcegraph Cody in VS Code usually breaks on the wrong extension, never finishing Enterprise instance sign-in, or never seeing inline completions, Edit Code, and chat with @ codebase context connect. Install from official docs, authenticate in the browser, then trigger one suggestion or ask one codebase question in a repo you own.

La requête est installer et utiliser Sourcegraph Cody dans VS Code. Cette page suit Sourcegraph docs at sourcegraph.com/docs/cody/clients/install-vscode, the quickstart at sourcegraph.com/docs/cody/quickstart, and Marketplace item sourcegraph.cody-ai. C’est l’assistant IDE Sourcegraph, pas le produit réunion de ce site. Huddle court : salle sur wbmeet; see créer et rejoindre une salle.

Vérifier l’accès Enterprise Cody

Cody is Sourcegraph’s AI assistant in the IDE: inline autocomplete, sidebar chat, Edit Code inline edits, and codebase context fetched through the Sourcegraph search engine. The VS Code extension is published by Sourcegraph as sourcegraph.cody-ai. Marketplace and official docs state Cody now requires a Sourcegraph Enterprise account with Cody enabled on the instance; non-enterprise personal use is no longer available. Self-hosted instances need cody.enabled: true in site configuration plus an LLM provider.

Première heure : installer, se connecter, suggestions, Edit Code, chat

1. 1

   Install Cody from the Marketplace

   Open VS Code. Cmd+Shift+X or Ctrl+Shift+X. Search Cody AI, publisher Sourcegraph, Install. Or Quick Open (Cmd+P / Ctrl+P): ext install sourcegraph.cody-ai. Reload if prompted. The Cody icon appears in the Activity Bar.

2. 2

   Sign in to your Sourcegraph Enterprise instance

   Click the Cody icon, choose Sign In to Your Enterprise Instance, enter the admin-provided URL (self-hosted like https://sourcegraph.example.com, or cloud URL from your account team). Authorize in the browser, return to VS Code and click Open. If browser auth fails: generate a token under Account Settings → Access Tokens, then choose Sign In to Sourcegraph Instances v5.1 and above and paste the token.

3. 3

   Verify inline autocomplete

   File → Open Folder on a project you can roll back. Open a source file and type normally. Gray inline completions should appear after a few seconds; Tab to accept, Esc to dismiss. Official docs suggest typing in an empty function like function bubbleSort(array) {} to test context-aware suggestions.

4. 4

   Run your first Edit Code inline edit

   Select code (or place the cursor in a function), press Opt+K (macOS) or Alt+K (Windows/Linux), or right-click Cody → Edit Code. Describe the change, e.g. “Add JSDoc to this function.” Review the diff before accepting. The first-hour goal is confirming Edit responds—not shipping to production.

5. 5

   Chat with @-mention codebase context

   Press Opt+L / Alt+L to open Cody chat. New chats show default context chips for the current repo and file. Type @ plus a filename or @# plus a symbol name. Start read-only: “Where is the main entry point in this repo?” or “Explain @#main.” Smart Apply can insert chat suggestions into files. Do not paste secrets into prompts.

Sign-in paths, features, pitfalls

Official install path: Marketplace Cody AI → Cody icon → Sign In to Your Enterprise Instance → browser Authorize → type to test completions → Opt+K for Edit → Opt+L chat with @ context. Plans follow Sourcegraph Enterprise docs and cody.dev.

Enterprise is required

Marketplace states Cody is no longer for non-enterprise users. Contact your org admin or Sourcegraph sales—do not use shared or stolen accounts.

@ context has token limits

@-mentioning large files fills the model context window and may show File too large. Prefer symbols or line ranges like @file:1-50.

This is not a meeting-product guide

Only Cody’s first hour. Short whiteboard call: wbmeet or quand ne pas ouvrir une appli de réunion lourde.
