Use any API and Model in Roo Cline

Cline supports API providers like OpenRouter, Anthropic, Glama, OpenAI, Google Gemini, AWS Bedrock, Azure, and GCP Vertex. You can also configure any OpenAI compatible API, or use a local model through LM Studio/Ollama. If you’re using OpenRouter, the extension fetches their latest model list, allowing you to use the newest models as soon as they’re available.

The extension also keeps track of total tokens and API usage cost for the entire task loop and individual requests, keeping you informed of spend every step of the way.

Run Commands in Terminal in Roo Cline

Thanks to the new shell integration updates in VSCode v1.93, Cline can execute commands directly in your terminal and receive the output. This allows him to perform a wide range of tasks, from installing packages and running build scripts to deploying applications, managing databases, and executing tests, all while adapting to your dev environment & toolchain to get the job done right.

For long running processes like dev servers, use the “Proceed While Running” button to let Cline continue in the task while the command runs in the background. As Cline works he’ll be notified of any new terminal output along the way, letting him react to issues that may come up, such as compile-time errors when editing files.

Create and Edit Files Device Management in Roo Cline

Cline can create and edit files directly in your editor, presenting you a diff view of the changes. You can edit or revert Cline’s changes directly in the diff view editor, or provide feedback in chat until you’re satisfied with the result. Cline also monitors linter/compiler errors (missing imports, syntax errors, etc.) so he can fix issues that come up along the way on his own.

Use the Browser in Roo Cline

With Claude 3.5 Sonnet’s new Computer Use capability, Cline can launch a browser, click elements, type text, and scroll, capturing screenshots and console logs at each step. This allows for interactive debugging, end-to-end testing, and even general web use! This gives him autonomy to fixing visual bugs and runtime issues without you needing to handhold and copy-pasting error logs yourself.

What about User say about Roo Cline

I like the forked version of Cline, “Roo Cline” much better. It does updates to code without requiring a confirmation for each step, which gets annoying fast.
