Chrome Code Buddy is a chrome extension that can be used to follow along with programming tutorials on YouTube. The extension allows one to take a screenshot of the video at any time, and scan an area of text using image recognition.

How to Install

Clone the repository

git clone https://github.com/oyavuzjr/Chrome-Code-Buddy

ls build 

We can now use this folder to add the extension to Chrome.

Open up Google Chrome

1. Click on the 3 dots in the top right.
2. Go to More Tools > Extensions
3. Select "Load unpacked"
4. Select the newly created build folder

Now you can see the button on youtube to use the extension

Search for any programming tutorial, and pause the video when there is a clear view of the code. Now press the Code Buddy button and scan the area of the code. After pressing submit, you will have the code as text.
