Use CodeGate with avante.nvim

avante.nvim is a Neovim plugin that provides a Cursor-like user experience with multiple AI providers.

CodeGate works with OpenAI and compatible APIs through Avante.

You can also use CodeGate muxing to select your provider and model using workspaces.

Install avante.nvim

Install the avante.nvim plugin using your preferred Neovim plugin manager. For detailed installation instructions, refer to Avante's documentation.

tip

You can also install codegate.nvim, a plugin that interfaces with CodeGate and allows you to quickly switch between workspaces without leaving Neovim.

Configure avante.nvim to use CodeGate

Configure avante.nvim to route requests through CodeGate by setting its provider endpoint to http://localhost:8989/<provider>.

Using lazy.nvim (recommended), configure the avante.nvim provider settings as shown:

CodeGate muxing

First, configure your provider(s) and select a model for each of your workspace(s) in the CodeGate dashboard.

Then configure avante.nvim to use the CodeGate mux endpoint:

~/.config/nvim/lua/plugins/avante.lua

{
  "yetone/avante.nvim",
  -- ... etc ...
  opts = {
    provider = "openai",
    openai = {
      endpoint = "http://localhost:8989/v1/mux", -- CodeGate's mux endpoint
      model = "gpt-4o", -- the actual model is determined by your CodeGate workspace
      timeout = 30000, -- timeout in milliseconds
      temperature = 0, -- adjust if needed
      max_tokens = 4096,
    },
  },
  -- ... etc ...
}

OpenAI

You need an OpenAI API account to use this provider. To use a different OpenAI-compatible endpoint, set the CODEGATE_OPENAI_URL configuration parameter when you launch CodeGate.

~/.config/nvim/lua/plugins/avante.lua

{
  "yetone/avante.nvim",
  -- ... etc ...
  opts = {
    provider = "openai",
    openai = {
      endpoint = "http://localhost:8989/openai", -- CodeGate's OpenAI endpoint
      model = "gpt-4o", -- your desired model
      timeout = 30000, -- timeout in milliseconds
      temperature = 0, -- adjust if needed
      max_tokens = 4096,
    },
  },
  -- ... etc ...
}

note

avante.nvim does not yet support fill-in-the-middle (FIM) completions. You have to configure your FIM completion plugin separately.

Verify configuration

To verify your setup:

1. In Neovim, type :AvanteChat to launch the Avante interface.
2. Enter the following prompt in the chat:

   add a variable AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID="AKIAIOSFODNN7EXAMPLE"
3. The response should indicate that CodeGate redacted the secret, and an alert is logged in the dashboard.
