What is GASE?

GASE (Google Apps Script Editor) is a Chrome extension that enhances the native Google Apps Script editor. It adds advanced features not available in the standard editor, streamlining the development workflow.

The extension lets you navigate your projects with a hierarchical, collapsible file tree, switch between multiple visual themes, use Vim-style keyboard shortcuts, search text across all project files, and download your entire project as a .zip file with a single click.

The Pro version includes an LLM-powered AI chat assistant to ask questions about your code, request file updates or create new ones, and access to the snippet store where you can share and download code fragments with the community.

Blocks

Blocks are predefined code snippets that you can configure and drag directly onto your Google Apps Script project. They work as a low-code tool: select the block you need, adjust the parameters, and insert it into your code without writing anything from scratch.

How to open the Blocks panel

Click the Blocks button in the GASE toolbar
A side panel will open with the list of available blocks
Browse by category or use the search bar to find a specific block.

Available Block types

Basic (free)

Basic blocks are available to all users, including free plan users. They include common operations such as reading data from Google Sheets, sending emails with Gmail, listing Drive files, and making HTTP requests.

Advanced (Pro)

Advanced blocks require an active Pro plan or trial. They include more complex operations such as sending emails with attachments, generating PDFs from templates, creating forms, mail merge, and sending notifications to Slack, Discord, Telegram or WhatsApp.

Vault

The Vault is a personal space where you can save the blocks you use most to reuse them across projects and different devices. When you save a block to the Vault, it syncs automatically in the cloud.

Free plan users can save up to 2 blocks in the Vault. Pro plan users have no limit and can save as many blocks as they need.

Click the save icon (floppy disk) on the block card you want to save
The block will be added to your personal Vault
To access your saved blocks, go to the Vault tab inside the Blocks panel
To remove a block from the Vault, click the trash icon.

Blocks are available in all versions of GASE. If a block requires a Pro plan and you don't have one, you'll see a visual indicator and a link to activate the trial or purchase the plan.

AI Assistant

The AI assistant lets you chat with advanced language models (Gemini, DeepSeek, Claude) directly from the editor. You can ask it to write code, explain it, debug, refactor, or create new files.

The AI assistant requires GASE authentication and an active Pro plan or 15-day trial.

Setting up the assistant for the first time

Open the AI chat from the AI Assistant button in the editor
If you're not authenticated, the login window will open. Sign in with your Google account
If you don't have a Pro plan or trial, click Upgrade and activate the 15-day free trial or purchase the Pro plan
In the Settings tab: choose the Provider (Google Gemini, DeepSeek or Anthropic Claude), enter your API Key and click Verify to validate it, select the Model and click Save.

API Keys

Google Gemini: https://aistudio.google.com/app/apikey
DeepSeek: https://platform.deepseek.com/api_keys
Anthropic (Claude): https://console.anthropic.com/settings/keys

Change the model without reconfiguring everything

Go to Settings in the AI chat
You'll see your current configuration
Select a different model from the Change Model dropdown
Click Save Model. The change takes effect immediately.

Change provider

In Settings, click Change API Key
Select the new provider from the first dropdown
Enter the new provider's API Key
Click Verify to validate it
Select the desired model
Click Save.

Using the chat

Type your question or request in the text field
You can mention project files by typing @ followed by the name (a dropdown will appear for selection)
Press Enter to send
The AI will respond with explanations and, if applicable, code.

Approve or reject suggested changes

When the AI suggests changes to a file, you'll see a modification card below its response. The card shows the file name, a NEW badge if it's a new file, and a diff (green lines for additions, red for deletions). Click Approve to apply the change or Deny to reject it.

Important: If you approve the creation of a new file, the assistant will ask for confirmation to reload the editor. This is necessary because file creation uses the official Google Apps Script API and the editor must refresh.

Important notes

Files mentioned with @ are sent to the model as context. Select the relevant files to get better responses.
The AI sees your project's full structure (file names and folders).
You can have multiple active conversations from the History tab.
The New Chat button (+ icon) starts a clean conversation with no history.

GitHub Integration

Connect your Google Apps Script project to a GitHub repository to keep your code in sync. Push local changes, pull remote changes, and manage everything from the extension without leaving the editor.

Requires logging into the GASE API (Pro plan not required).

Connect to GitHub

Click the GitHub button in the GASE toolbar. A modal window with three tabs will open: Connect, Repository and Sync
In the Connect tab, enter your GitHub personal access token and optionally a password to protect the token (recommended for extra security). The password encrypts the token locally
Click Connect. If the token is valid, the fields will disappear and you'll see Connected as @your_username along with a Disconnect button.

We recommend creating a fine-grained access token, limited only to the repository you want to work with. This minimizes security risk. You can also use a classic token, though it will have broader permissions across all your repositories. In the modal you'll find a direct link to create your token on GitHub.

Select repository

Go to the Repository tab in the GitHub modal
You'll see a list of your available repositories. Click on the one you want to use
Select the branch you want to work with.

Sync changes

The Sync tab shows files with pending changes — both local (changes made in your Apps Script project not yet uploaded) and remote (GitHub changes not yet downloaded).

Select a repository first. Go to the Repository tab and choose a repository before syncing.

Push: Push: Upload local changes to GitHub. Files modified in your Apps Script project will be sent to the repository.

Pull: Pull: Download remote changes from GitHub. Files modified in the repository will be applied to your Apps Script project.

Additional Apps Script permission required

When pulling for the first time, you may need to enable the Google Apps Script API. If you see a message about it, open https://script.google.com/home/usersettings and make sure the Google Apps Script API is enabled. Once enabled, pull will work correctly.

Languages

GASE is available in the same 5 languages as this website: Spanish, English, Simplified Chinese, Russian and French. The language is automatically set based on your browser preferences.
