Configure local codebase awareness
Stay organized with collections
Save and categorize content based on your preferences.
Local codebase awareness improves the relevance of
Gemini Code Assist responses through indexing and supporting
techniques. Gemini Code Assist uses the current open file as
context. An agent is able to use tools to find and
read the files it needs. You can also
specify files and folders in your workspace context.
By default, local codebase awareness is enabled, but you can
exclude files from Gemini Code Assist use,
and VS Code users can disable local codebase awareness entirely. To disable
local codebase awareness entirely, perform the following steps:
[[["Easy to understand","easyToUnderstand","thumb-up"],["Solved my problem","solvedMyProblem","thumb-up"],["Other","otherUp","thumb-up"]],[["Hard to understand","hardToUnderstand","thumb-down"],["Incorrect information or sample code","incorrectInformationOrSampleCode","thumb-down"],["Missing the information/samples I need","missingTheInformationSamplesINeed","thumb-down"],["Other","otherDown","thumb-down"]],["Last updated 2026-05-08 UTC."],[],[]]
