Git Better - Team Name: I'm Good At CS x3

AI Enhancement
Some preliminary features

Inspiration

Reviewing GitHub PRs can be tedious—switching tabs, managing comments, and understanding large codebases slows down the workflow. We wanted a seamless way to review and edit PRs directly in our IDE, eliminating context switching and improving productivity.

What We Learned

Throughout this project, we gained experience working with:

VSCode Extension Development – Integrating features smoothly into an existing IDE.
Full-Stack Development – Using TypeScript, Node.js, Express, and Flask for a robust backend.
AI & LLMs – Implementing Deepseek and Ollama for AI-powered code review assistance.
Collaboration Tools – Enhancing GitHub PR workflows with inline comments and history tracking.

How We Built It

We developed Git-Better as a VSCode extension with the following tech stack:

Frontend: TypeScript, JavaScript
Backend: Node.js, Express, Flask, Python
AI Integration: Deepseek, Ollama for intelligent PR insights
Version Control: GitHub API for PR management and history tracking

Challenges We Faced

Integrating AI Smartly – Ensuring AI-generated PR comments were accurate and helpful.
Optimizing Performance – Keeping memory usage low while embedding PR reviews into VSCode.
Handling Merge Conflicts – Automating recommendations for resolving conflicts efficiently.
