Why we included this project

Cline is an autonomous coding agent that you can run in several places: a VS Code extension, a JetBrains plugin, a terminal CLI, and an SDK for building your own agents. It reads your project, edits files, runs shell commands, and watches build and test output, surfacing every change as a reviewable diff with checkpoints you can roll back to. A Plan/Act mode lets you agree on the approach before it touches anything, and per-step approval means you can stay in control or let it run fully autonomous. It is not tied to one model provider, so you can use Claude, GPT, Gemini, local Ollama models, or any OpenAI-compatible endpoint, and extend it with custom tools, MCP servers, and plugins. If you want to run several agents at once, the Kanban board gives each task its own worktree with auto-commit and dependency chains, and scheduled automations handle recurring jobs.
