GitHub Copilot in 7 Minutes 👨‍💻🤖🚀

GitHub Co-Pilot is an AI-powered code assistant that uses machine learning to suggest and complete lines of code as you type. In this video, we take a deep dive into Co-Pilot and explore how it can help developers be more productive and efficient in their coding workflow. We show you how to set up Co-Pilot in Visual Studio Code, and how it can be used to generate code for popular programming languages like JavaScript and Python. We also discuss the potential of AI-powered programming and the implications of using tools like Co-Pilot in the development process. Whether you're a beginner or experienced developer, this video will provide insights into how Co-Pilot can enhance your coding experience and accelerate your development process.

I finally gave into AI and have been using this. It does have some issues but so do I and every other dev on the planet. The biggest thing this does for me is remove blockers or help me get unstuck. Much in the same way when I would get stuck on something and chat with another dev about it. Sometimes in explaining the issue I actually come up with the answer. This is a tool to keep me engaged. Last week I was working on an issue that took roughly 2 -3 hours to solve. Normally that issue would have taken double, triple, or even more time. Not actual work time, but just getting up when I was stuck just to break the monotony. Using this tool I was engaged the whole time and was only limited by what I could think to ask. So overall I'm hooked. One caveat, currently you still need to know what you are doing and know all the basics. So its not like anyone can just jump in an start writing code and putting it all together to make something tangible.

This video has been incredibly helpful for my programming journey.

Immediately installed and signed up for the 2-month trial. Amazing stuff.

This is ridiculous. I love it. This is how I pictiured Mannie programming Mike when I read "Moon is a Harsh Mistress" back in the 80's

thank you for this video, I had github already installed and paid for and I was looking for these tools because I seen it in another video online, but I didn't understand why these tools weren't available or showing. This explained everything currently testing it. I subbed hope you stay in the tech loop

[briannetennis]

I can't wait to try out these techniques in my own projects.

[masverol]

I appreciate the step-by-step instructions you provided.

[chvykillr]

Your explanations were clear and easy to follow.

The thing with code generators is, if you know how to code, it's great. You can tell it what you want, in small chunks, and let it do the grunt work of typing the code. But if you don't know how to code, it's hard to ask for what you want. And often hard to use what it gives you.

For example, telling AI to "write a python tensorflow app for image classification" works fine. But it doesn't do you much good if you don't know what all those words mean, and don't know what to do with the code it generates.

I noticed Visual Studio has started doing something similar this recently, and I didn't even set up or install anything new, it just started doing it.

[staskrakovsky]

A very quick and extensive overview indeed! Thanks!

[christerjohanzzon]

Great tooling that helps dev speed up their delivery, and spend more time eating popcorn. :D
On a more serious note, is it possible to have copilot train on your own stack? Let stay a companys own code stack with algos, functions etc. used throughout the platform?

Great video! Thank you! What theme is that? How did you figure that animation that makes sparkles pop when you click on a brush?

[BruceElgort]

Outstanding. I learned a ton. Thanks for making it.

[donxnik]

Thank you very much especially for Co-Pilot Labs

[ayurizkycaawalia]

why i can't find this extentions in my vscode?

[devopsbytes]

Didn't know about the labs. Thanks :)

For those on Linux: Alt+], Alt+[.
Shame you only provided the keys for macOS, but kudos for taking the time.

How do you get Copilot to show full code block suggestions from typing comments?
My Copilot is only ever suggesting 1 line at a time, and no multiple suggestions. I have to hit Tab and Enter for each line which is extremely annoying.
