GitHub Copilot is an AI pair programmer that offers autocomplete-style suggestions as you code. It is powered by OpenAI Codex, a large language model (LLM) trained on a massive dataset of public code. GitHub Copilot can suggest code, entire functions, and even documentation, all in real time.
To use GitHub Copilot, you simply start typing your code in your favorite text editor. As you type, GitHub Copilot will analyze the context of your code and suggest completions. You can accept these suggestions, or you can modify them to fit your needs. GitHub Copilot can also suggest code for tasks that you haven't even started yet. For example, if you're working on a function that parses a JSON file, GitHub Copilot can suggest the code for the function, even if you haven't written a single line of code yet.
GitHub Copilot is still under development, but it has already been shown to be very effective at helping developers write code faster and more accurately. In one study, developers who used GitHub Copilot were able to write code 55% faster than those who didn't use it.
If you're a developer who is looking for a way to improve your productivity, GitHub Copilot is a great option. It can help you write code faster, more accurately, and with less effort
