GiHub Copilot is an AI pair programmer that uses OpenAI Codex to suggest code and entire functions in real time, right from your editor. With GitHub Copilot, developers have more time and space to focus on solving bigger problems and building even better software.
About This Service
Key Features
- Code completion - Autocomplete-style suggestions from Copilot in supported IDEs (Visual Studio Code, Visual Studio, JetBrains IDEs, Azure Data Studio, Xcode, Vim/Neovim, and Eclipse). If you use VS Code, you can also use next edit suggestions, which will predict the location of the next edit you are likely to make and suggest a completion for it.
- Copilot Chat - A chat interface that lets you ask coding-related questions. GitHub Copilot Chat is available on the GitHub website, in GitHub Mobile, in supported IDEs (Visual Studio Code, Visual Studio, JetBrains IDEs, Eclipse IDE, and Xcode), and in Windows Terminal. Users can also use skills with Copilot Chat.
- Copilot in the CLI - A chat-like interface in the terminal, where you can ask questions about the command line. You can ask Copilot to provide command suggestions or explanations of commands. Users can also integrate Copilot in Windows Terminal Canary.
- GitHub Copilot code review - AI-generated code review suggestions to help you write better code.
- Copilot pull request summaries - AI-generated summaries of the changes that were made in a pull request, which files they impact, and what a reviewer should focus on when they conduct their review.
