CodeGen & Dev Tools: GitHub Copilot was introduced as “Your AI pair programmer” in January of 2021. Since then, we have been adding more and more capabilities to increase developer productivity and happiness. We’ve gone from simply leveraging AI to generate code to explaining existing code, generating unit tests, propose fixes for bugs, making code robust / secure, summarizing pull requests, having conversations tailored to your organization’s repositories, providing answers to your questions based on your organization’s knowledge base and so much more! Let's explore how to get started with GitHub Copilot, its ever growing list of capabilities, and how to make the most out of the tool.
As long as you have a web browser that can access public repositories on GitHub.com then you have all you need. To interact with GitHub Copilot we will be using GitHub Codespaces which you can connect to via a web browser.
