GitHub Codespaces is a hosted developer environment operating in the cloud that can be run with Visual Studio Code. It provides a fully configured and customizable development environment that can be accessed from any device. In this module, you will quickly get started with a preconfigured codespace environment.

Pair Program with GitHub Copilot

Writing code often requires looking up official documentation or other web sources to recall syntax or find solutions. Debugging code that does not work can also take hours. Moreover, writing tests and documentation is also part of the coding process. These tasks are time consuming and can reduce efficiency. Some possible ways to save time are using code snippets or tooling in your IDE, integrated development environment. However, are there any better alternatives?
 
Imagine having an intelligent partner by your side, suggesting code snippets and completing lines for you. GitHub Copilot is designed to save you time, reduce errors, and help you write code more efficiently.
