Which code is "my code" here?

My assumption from that dialog box would be that at most, the code I currently have open in my editor would be uploaded. Not all the source code on my computer.

How can autocomplete work without looking at all the other code too?

Edit to add: oh, wait, I misunderstood. It grabs all the code on your computer? That's crazy. I just meant it's not totally unreasonable to grab the whole git repo you're working in, say.

Exactly. How do they know what is my code, or somebody elses? Dodgy.
