Step-by-Step Instructions
In Visual Studio Code, go to the extension tab and search for Bito.
Install the extension. We recommend you restart the IDE after the installation is complete.
Starting with Bito version 1.3.4, the extension is only supported on VS Code versions 1.72 and higher. Bito does not support VS Code versions below 1.72, and earlier versions of Bito do not function properly on these older versions. Additionally, while Bito is supported on VS Code versions 1.72 and above, the AI Code Completions feature in Bito only works on VS Code version 1.80 and higher.
After a successful install, the Bito logo appears in the Visual Studio Code pane.
Click the Bito logo to launch the extension and complete the setup process. You will either need to create a new workspace if you are the first in your company to install Bito or join an existing workspace created by a co-worker. See Managing Workspace Members
