## What is Continue?

> _Note: The `continuedev/continue` repository is no longer actively maintained and is read-only for all users._

Continue is a coding agent available as a [CLI](#cli), [VS Code extension](#vs-code), and [JetBrains plugin](#jetbrains).

## Documentation

To learn how to configure Continue, how it works, and how to customize it, check out the [Continue Docs](https://docs.continue.dev).

## Final 2.0.0 Release

We polished Continue and did a final 2.0.0 release of the VS Code extension, CLI, and JetBrains plugin.

This included removing anonymous telemetry, pulling out authentication, squashing bugs, and more.

### VS Code

  

### CLI

 

### JetBrains

> _Note: We recommend using the Continue CLI instead of the JetBrains plugin._

 

## Contributors

Thank you to the entire Continue community for helping us create a pioneering coding agent.

What we built together pushed the boundaries of what AI developer tooling could be.

We hope this codebase continues to serve as a foundation for others.
