Copilot uses machine learning to provide code suggestions and complete tasks for you while you code.

Copilot helps developers write code faster and with greater accuracy, making it easier to explore new code and technologies.

Copilot can suggest code snippets, complete lines of code, and even entire functions based on the patterns it has learned from analyzing billions of lines of code on GitHub.GitHub Copilot uses GPT-3, OpenAI's language model, to understand code and generate suggestions based on the context of what you are writing.It helps developers write code faster and with greater accuracy, making it easier to explore new code and technologies. That reduces jumping between files and improves the productivity.Īfter preview the Copilot will definitely be a paid product, but I’m more than happy to pay few bucks a month to improve my productivity even by 1%.GitHub Copilot is AI Pair programmer, code synthesizer tool that uses machine learning to provide code suggestions and complete tasks for you while you code. You don’t have to leave from code file to search for sample code of how to build business objects correctly so often anymore, because Copilot shows you the sample.

Copilot can give code suggestions based on your existing code base and that really improves the productivity, because it reduces the amount of keystrokes you need to do and also finds the code samples for you. It is not only using GitHub public projects for code suggestions and that makes it so powerful. It learns from your existing code base and starts giving suggestion based on your own code too. You want to use existing classes, methods and services and for that the Copilot works really well. The main selling point for Copilot is that it can write you huge block of codes based on comments or method name, but in real use with existing code base, that is not what you want. Example of Copilot suggestion based on method name and parameters.
