||
| ## Getting Started with Customization | ||
|
|
||
| ### Edit Your Configuration | ||
|
|
||
| Access your configuration directly from the Continue sidebar: | ||
|
|
||
| 1. Open the sidebar with `cmd/ctrl + L` (VS Code) or `cmd/ctrl + J` (JetBrains) | ||
| 2. Click the Agent selector above the main chat input | ||
| 3. Hover over an agent and click the gear icon (local agents) or new window icon (hub agents) | ||
|
|
||
| ### Configuration Management | ||
|
|
||
| - **Hub Configurations**: See [Editing Hub Configurations](/mission-control/configs/edit-a-config) for managing cloud-based configs | ||
| - **Local Configurations**: See the [Config Deep Dive](/customize/deep-dives/configuration) for detailed local configuration options | ||
|
|
||
| ## Popular Customization Paths | ||
|
|
||
| <AccordionGroup> | ||
| <Accordion title="Using a Different Model Provider"> | ||
| Continue supports many model providers beyond the default. To switch: | ||
|
|
||
| 1. Choose your [model provider](/customize/model-providers/overview) | ||
| 2. Get an API key from the provider | ||
| 3. Add the [model](/customize/models) to your configuration | ||
| 4. Configure the API key in your [secrets](/mission-control/secrets/secret-types) | ||
| </Accordion> | ||
|
|
||
| <Accordion title="Running Models Locally"> | ||
| Run AI models on your own hardware: | ||
|
|
||
| 1. Install [Ollama](https://ollama.com) | ||
| 2. Pull a model (e.g., `ollama pull qwen3-coder`) | ||
| 3. Configure [Ollama provider](/customize/model-providers/top-level/ollama) | ||
| 4. See our [Ollama guide](/guides/ollama-guide) for details | ||
| </Accordion> | ||
|
|
||
| <Accordion title="Setting Up Project-Specific Rules"> | ||
| Create rules that guide AI behavior for your project: | ||
|
|
||
| 1. Create a `.continue/rules` folder in your project | ||
| 2. Add markdown files with your guidelines | ||
| 3. Rules automatically apply with Hub configs | ||
| 4. Learn more in the [rules documentation](/customize/rules) | ||
| </Accordion> | ||
|
|
||
| <Accordion title="Creating Custom Slash Commands"> | ||
| Build reusable prompts as slash commands: | ||
|
|
||
| 1. Define prompts in your configuration | ||
| 2. Use them with `/` in the chat | ||
| 3. Share across your team via Hub | ||
| 4. See the [prompts guide](/customize/prompts) for examples | ||
| </Accordion> | ||
