Workspace chat awareness for Amazon Q Developer in IDE
Previously Amazon Q Developer chat in your IDE was aware of your currently open file, but did not consider all project files. You can now add @workspace to chat messages. Amazon Q Developer will then consider all code files in the current project. Try out questions such as “@workspace what does this codebase do?” or “where does this @workspace implement authentication and authorization?”.
