What is GitHub Copilot?
GitHub Copilot is an AI pair programmer that provides autocomplete-style suggestions during coding. It offers suggestions when you write code or describe your intentions in natural language comments. The tool analyzes the context in the current file and related files to generate helpful suggestions within your text editor. GitHub Copilot is a collaboration between GitHub, OpenAI, and Microsoft, powered by a generative AI model.
