Roo Cline: Enhanced Fork of Cline

“ Recently, I saw another Fork version of Cline called Roo-Cline, which has iterated on the basis of Cline, enhancing its capabilities and making some features more user-friendly. I am sharing it here with everyone. ”

In the past few days, I introduced the basic usage of Deepseek V3 + Cline. Friends who haven’t seen it can click below to check it out.👇🏻
