About CodeGate
CodeGate is an open-source, local prompt gateway designed to enhance security and privacy for developers using AI coding assistants. It functions as a proxy between AI assistants and language models, encrypting sensitive data to prevent exposure during interactions. The tool performs automated security reviews of generated code, identifying potential vulnerabilities or compliance issues before execution. It also analyzes dependency risks in third-party libraries or packages, helping developers avoid introducing insecure or outdated components. By operating entirely on the developer’s local machine, CodeGate ensures that sensitive information never leaves the controlled environment. It integrates seamlessly with popular AI tools and IDEs, allowing developers to maintain productivity without compromising security. This makes it particularly valuable for teams handling proprietary code, regulated data, or high-stakes projects where security is a priority.
