What is Cline?
Cline is an autonomous AI software engineer that exists as an IDE extension (like VS Code). It utilizes large language models to understand complex codebases, execute terminal commands, and perform multi-file edits. It is uniquely capable of running tests, analyzing errors, and iteratively fixing its own code before presenting the final result to the developer.
