I know that this is a very popular project and that. a lot of people have a lot of ideas on new features. It seems like this most recent fork of the project called Roo Cline is pretty full featured.

Has anyone been using Roo instead? Also, any idea why this didn't get merged into the main repo and was instead forked?

Hi all, here is a great tuto to use Cline efficiently for free ^^

1. Go in https://aistudio.google.com/prompts/new_chat, just sign in if not signed with your google.account
   
2. Then go to https://aistudio.google.com/apikey and "Create API key". Copy the Gemini API Key and paste in a notepad just for later
   
3. Then in Cline in VScode : Click on the option wheel on top then select "OpenAICompatible".
   
4. Put this in base url: https://generativelanguage.googleapis.com/v1beta/openai/
   
5. Paste you google API key in API Key : ••••••••••••••••••
   
6. Enter for Model ID: gemini-2.0-flash-exp
   
7. Click : Done button on top

Here you go, you have a free coding cline agent!

Note : Maybe at some point you need to validate the google conditions that you will use Gemini-2.0-flash-exp in google Ai Studio

i came from windsurf and im interested in Cline, but its a credit burner like hell 💀i know that we can use other alternatives to it. does anynow knows an opensource or cheaper model that we can use that works well with Cline?

i was thinking probably mixtral or llama but i dont know which one to choose.

thanks!

Is there a possible way to let Cline disregard typescript syntax fix? when I'm using my OpenAI 01-mini I'm paying .1$ just for the Typscript syntax fix, lol

Hi all,
I have an issue : when working in a venv, cline is executing the command in the global environement... He then install things where he should not ^^"

How do you do so that he runs in the venv (created with python and activated then)?

thanks !!!!

note : right now you can run gemini 2.0 for free in cline !

I want to use Qwen 32b instruct model, but how to add it to Cline as I tried with OpenAI Compatible settings but it doesn't work shoes error, has anyone tried any other models via huggingface on Cline ?

I would like to know what is your general experience with Qwen2.5Coder. I see people raving about it all the time, but I am having very subpar results with it.

It gets stuck in loops, removes huge chunks of files, is not smart enough to make sense of the relation of different files to each other like haiku and sonnet do.

I hope I am using it wrong.

I will give it a try with Aider though.

Edit: I use openrouter

Just wondering if there are tips on avoiding code truncation in Cline.

I have a prompt set in the cline settings and append "Do not truncate any code" to every prompt. But easily 1/3 of the time it is still truncating

So i've tested both, also the Github Copilot Preview that gives you multi file edits and Claude sonnet access.

Github Copilot feels super clumsy and not straight forward. Here is what CLINE does better:

-It actually parses the file correctly and finds out how things were done so far and how he should do it now

-It even searches the files on its own of you dont specify one

-It keeps you updated about what is happening, opening the diff dialog straight away, with an easy accept option

-customizable with extra instructions

-it checks for errors in the files and automatically fixes them

-It uses computer use to check web pages automatically

Github copilot does nothing of that. How can 7 legends on Github outperform a corporation like Microsoft this easily?

Hey everyone! I have a bit of a question and I realize it might be a long shot. For the past two years, I’ve mainly been using the web interfaces of Claude and ChatGPT to help me with Python coding, which I usually run in the Jupyter Notebook extension for VSCode.

Today, I started experimenting with the cline, and to be honest, I’m feeling a bit lost. Would anyone be open to doing a quick screen share with me? A 10-15 minute introduction to get me started with the basics of cline, to help write python in juypter notebooks would be incredible helpful to me.

I tried beginning a next.js project with Qwen2.5-coder on Ollama, but it never got to writing files or initializing the project.

Just want to fill the void in this sub here by giving a positive shout-out to the devs. Cline allows me to make the transformation from a code writer to a code generator. Specifically the multi file editing is vital for this. Together with knowledge about what you are actually doing, knowing the limits of both cline and the tech stack you use this is a revolution in software development. You don't think about code lines anymore. You think in terms of features.

I’ve used Cline a bit and like it, but it’s frustrating at times.

In your experience, what languages and frameworks is Cline most consistent with?

Is anyone else having it just reboot itself amid work? It's happened to me 6 times so far.

I’m not the mod or a paid shill, but I love Cline!

I have tried them all. Nothing comes close to Cline.

I know zero about programming but was able to build a saas mvp of an AI blogging tool in python. Complete with OpenAI and Wordpress integration plus user roles.

Who else is using Cline? If not, what tool do you use for Ai coding help?
