// about Cline
Cline is an open-source VS Code extension that gives Claude and other LLMs the ability to autonomously create and edit files, run terminal commands, and browse the web to complete multi-step coding tasks. Unlike copilots that suggest completions, Cline takes initiative — reading your project, writing code across files, installing dependencies, and verifying its work. It's one of the fastest-growing open-source AI coding tools, popular for tasks that require more than a single-file change.
