Documentation

Full README

Void is now deprecated.

Void is deprecated and no longer accepting contributions. Thank you to everyone who contributed, both with lines of code and support from the community. Void remains open source and is still one of the best references to use when forking VS Code.

Forking VS Code

If you're forking VS Code, you might still want to reference Void's logic, and see our Codebase Guide and How to Contribute.

  • We mount React + Tailwind. This is not possible in plain VS Code, and required extending the build pipeline to compile React and scope Tailwind ourselves.
  • You can copy our GitHub Actions to package, sign, and auto-update Void. VS Code's build pipeline is private, so this is normally very hard.
  • Our AI provider code is built from scratch, allowing us to support autocomplete (FIM) and other custom responses. We expose grammars for common <thinking> tags, tool tags, etc. Feel free to reference our architecture for using IPC and satisfying CSP.
  • Use our custom services to edit files. EditCodeService lets you show diffs as code streams in, even token by token. VoidModelService lets you edit files in the background and syncs OS files with your text buffers.
  • Everything we've done is 100% open source. See repos for a complete picture of all the repos that make up Void.

Welcome to Void.

Use AI agents on your codebase, checkpoint and visualize changes, and bring any model or host locally. Void sends messages directly to providers without retaining your data.
