What is Github Copilot?

GitHub Copilot is an AI pair programmer that helps developers write code faster and with less work. It uses OpenAI Codex to suggest code and entire functions in real-time, right from the editor.

The tool is trained on billions of lines of code and turns natural language prompts into coding suggestions across dozens of languages. It works best when code is divided into small functions, meaningful names are used for function parameters, and good docstrings and comments are written as code is developed.

Developers all over the world use GitHub Copilot to code faster, focus on business logic over boilerplate, and build great software. The tool is available as an extension for Visual Studio Code, Visual Studio, Neovim, and the JetBrains suite of integrated development environments (IDEs).

While GitHub Copilot is a powerful tool, developers are responsible for the code they write with its help and should carefully test, review, and vet the code before pushing it to production.
