GitHub Copilot is an AI pair programmer that helps you write code faster and with less work. I share my favorite use cases of GitHub Copilot and GitHub Copilot Labs in this blog post.īefore I go into how I've used Copilot, I'll explain the feature to those unfamiliar with it. These sound super cool, but when would you use them? Translate code from one programming language to another.Generate predictive lines of code from comments and existing patterns in your code.This experimental VS Code sidebar enables developers to translate their code from one programming language to another and explains code snippets in plain language. More recently, GitHub Next, a team exploring the future of technology and software beyond the adjacent-possible, released Copilot Labs. Copilot increases my confidence and velocity as a programmer.įor me, the value of Copilot is that I spend less time stressing over syntax, which leaves more time for solving problems.GitHub Copilot can’t read my mind, and it will not always spit out perfectly well-written, up-to-date code. (Also, because I love predictive text in other environments like writing emails, why not in my code editor?) When I received access to the feature, I realized two things: Perhaps, I was mostly excited because it was new and shiny. Even though I didn't work at GitHub when they announced Copilot, I remember it piqued my interest.
