GitHub Copilot

What is GitHub Copilot?

GitHub Copilot was the first mainstream AI coding tool — and it's still one of the best. Trained on billions of lines of public code, it autocompletes functions, writes tests, and explains complex code inline.

Key Features

• Inline completions — suggests code as you type
• Copilot Chat — ask questions about your codebase
• Multi-file edits — changes across multiple files at once
• Test generation — writes unit tests automatically
