Can we integrate the ability for ChatGPT to understand the entire code base vs just selected text.

For example... one can ask ChatGPT to create backend api service to do "something" ChatGPT will start writing the code for you in one file and then you can ask it to organize the code for you. It'll outlay the directory structure, explain whats in each file, and will be able to modify the right files to adjust what you want it to do.

If it can provide the above....could it also take a current code base as a starting point and provide outputs?
