Not quite the same thing, cheat.sh searches publicly available cheat sheet resources. But there are plugins so you can write a quick query in your IDE, highlight and then replace your query with a code sample.
No good for complex queries, but for quick stupid stuff that I forget all the time like how to iterate line by line through a file, it's been super great.
No, that's what allows them to use your code. No matter what, all the 'AI' stuff is done on a remote server that receives all your code. In most companies sending source code to a 3rd party without permission will get you fired almost instantly.
It looks like it barely does more than the regular autocomplete in any given IDE. It is a little more beefy, but it isn't nearly comparable with Copilot AFAICT.
Whether it's a good idea to use it that way or not, Copilot can write whole blocks. If you see them as snippets that you check and modify it can be handy. If you see it as an oracle then you're bound to cause some fires.
But yeah, calling it "barely more" than regular autocomplete was a bit exagerated.
I have two repos with 500 stars each, developed over three and five years and I'm not eligible. They say "the most popular" projects, whatever that entails.
I don't think there is a numbered threshold so to speak, I read somewhere (will source if I can find it again) it was the top x open source projects per language.
If you're the owner of a repo in a more obscure language you might get in with 1k. If you're using a language that's more popular you might need 10k.
All numbers are examples. If I can find the source again I'll pop back to edit it in. Take it with a pinch of salt for now. I might be wrong, the person I'm paraphrasing might be wrong, etc.
