We test out the latest product from Augment Code, a terminal app called Auggie CLI. How does it compare to other AI command-line interfaces?
- Workspace Indexing: Auggie automatically indexes the project directory, which is beneficial for context but raises security considerations (addressed via .augmentignore files).
Interactive vs. Non-Interactive Mode: The author tests both modes, highlighting the benefits of a one-shot, non-interactive command for quick tasks.
- Code Modification: A key test involves using Auggie to add Bootstrap classes to a Rails view file. Auggie successfully analyzed the existing code, generated a correct diff, and applied the changes.
