How do you have LLM look into multiple files of our codebase?

Hi guys, I joined the weekly call this Tuesday and was amazed at the amount of stuff I learnt in 2 hours! Thanks a lot again Brandon and others

I have large codebases (in my Python/django project) and I find myself asking ChatGPT / Claude answers to questions by copy pasting various parts of my codebase (full files or part of the files) with names of the files on top and giving it extra context via my text (here is an example https://chatgpt.com/share/b2d703e8-c464-485e-8cd4-bc795afdad2e)

I would love if there is a way of doing this from inside my IDE itself (VS Code or Pycharm ) where I can mark blocks of text in mutliple files and then refer to them in my prompt

Does anyone know of a good way to do this?
