GitHub Copilot Demo - Function completion by name
In this example, GitHub Copilot fetches the ticker symbols of the S&P 500. A user can type the function name get_sp500_tickers as a prompt to generate a complete implementation. Note, however, that code generated by GitHub Copilot is not always entirely correct. Here, the way it’s written, ev...
GitHub Copilot Demo - Converts comments to code
GitHub Copilot is as good at writing natural language as it is at writing code, so in fact it can complete your comments for you.It can complete an explanation, and then, line by line, allow the user to tab through the code that does what was prompted in English.
GitHub Copilot Demo - Create unit tests
GitHub Copilot can take some of the drudgery out of writing unit tests. Here’s an implementation of a function that computes the Greatest Common Divisor, so let’s test it. To do so, a user can import the unit test package, and then start writing a class just by hitting the c key. From then on, it...
GitHub Copilot Demo - Adapt to your coding style
A common problem with code generation tools is that they try to impose an unfamiliar style on you, and the suggestions reflect the preferences of its creators, not your own. GitHub Copilot imitates the style of your own code. In the examples below, it follows the convention of putting an opening ...

"GitHub Copilot: A Developer's Best Companion"
What do you like best about GitHub Copilot?

I use GitHub Copilot to help me code, and it reviews my code during PRs. I like how it goes straight into solving my problems and understands what I'm asking. It gives me more than one answer, allowing me to decide what's best for my application. The initial setup was super easy; I just had to link my proxy and log in. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GitHub Copilot?

Sometimes I feel like GPT isn't as effective as Claude, so maybe allow all the AI Agents to be equally knowledgeable. I think it might be better if it doesn't just suggest downloading plugins and instead explains things before doing them. Sometimes it just goes straight into asking to download instead of explaining why this solution might be best for me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Outstanding Experience from Start to Finish"
What do you like best about GitHub Copilot?

GitHub Copilot proves to be an amazing tool for coding activities of every day. The implementation is pretty straightforward, and it does not demand a complicated setup. The development environment's integration is significantly seamless and fast. Moreover, it provides handy code suggestions, eliminates duplication of work, and the like. In effect, it turns coding into an easier, quicker, and more pleasant experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GitHub Copilot?

One aspect of GitHub Copilot that I am not really fond of is its occasional provision of incorrect or partial code recommendations. It might be the case that it does not perfectly grasp the project environment and thus comes up with non-optimal solutions. I continue to be in a situation where I have to meticulously review and test the code, which means more effort on my side. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Effortless Setup and Seamless VS Code Integration"
What do you like best about GitHub Copilot?

GitHub Copilot is easy to set up and I like that it integrates with VS Code. It's functionality has improved significantly over the past year and it genuinely makes a lot of tasks easier. I'm a fan of using it for planning and reviewing complex work to help find possible issues early on. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GitHub Copilot?

Lately I've been hitting something that feels like a rate limit when the agent stops, in I have to prompt it to keep going. I'm not certain if this is a bug or a feature. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"A Valuable AI Assistant That Boosts Daily Coding Productivity"
What do you like best about GitHub Copilot?

GitHub Copilot significantly speeds up development by providing intelligent code suggestions directly inside the IDE. It is especially helpful for writing repetitive code, generating boilerplate, and assisting with C#, .NET, JavaScript, and MVC patterns. Copilot integrates seamlessly with Visual Studio and helps maintain focus by reducing context switching and manual searching. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GitHub Copilot?

While Copilot is very useful, its suggestions are not always optimal and still require careful review, especially for complex logic or security-sensitive code. It can sometimes suggest code that does not fully match project conventions or best practices, so developer oversight is always necessary. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Revolutionizes Coding with Smart Suggestions and Seamless Integration"
What do you like best about GitHub Copilot?

- Inline code completions: Copilot suggests entire functions or code blocks directly in your IDE (VS Code, JetBrains, Xcode, etc.), turning comments or partial lines into working code.

- Copilot Chat: A conversational interface inside the editor where you can ask coding questions, request explanations, or generate snippets — making it feel like you have a mentor on demand.

- Context awareness: It adapts to the open files, imports, and naming conventions in your project, so suggestions feel tailored rather than generic.

- Rapid prototyping: Great for scaffolding new functions, validating ideas, or spinning up test cases without breaking flow.

- Multi‑language support: Copilot helps across many languages and frameworks, easing transitions between tech stacks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GitHub Copilot?

- Cost and licensing

- Copilot is a paid subscription, which can be a barrier for students, hobbyists, or small teams.

- Organizations must weigh whether the productivity boost justifies the recurring expense. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Copilot Accelerates Coding and Streamlines Issue Resolution"
What do you like best about GitHub Copilot?

I love the way Copilot helps me fix minor issues in my codebase quickly. Before using Copilot, I used to find out the workaround by copying the error message and finding a similar solution on Stack Overflow. Now, I mostly fix my code and generate skeleton code for a new implementation with Copilot. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GitHub Copilot?

Sometimes, I have to be very specific or prompt multiple times to find out the correct workaround or solution to the problem I am facing. If Copilot had some sort of contextual understanding based on my whole repo, it would have been better. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Supercharges Software Development with Context-Aware AI Code Generation"
What do you like best about GitHub Copilot?

I like how GitHub Copilot speeds up coding by autocompleting complex functions, generating scratch code, and suggesting context aware algorithms in real-time, making software development fun and engaging. It's amazing how it suggests smarter ways to structure my existing code. It's like having a brilliant coding assistant that never exhausts, helping me stay productive and focused. The initial setup was also very easy, just installed its official extension on our IDEs, and we were generating code for our projects on the breeze. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GitHub Copilot?

Sometimes Copilot suggests code that doesn't fit in our product architecture, so we still need to tweak it. It can also struggle with our in-house libraries, and occasionally autocompletes insecure patterns if not careful. Smarter context awareness and better handling of custom libraries would make it even better. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Boosts Coding Efficiency but Creates Excess Documentation"
What do you like best about GitHub Copilot?

I like how easy GitHub Copilot is to use. Basically, I can just drag what I'm facing an issue with and directly chat with it to resolve the problem. It resolves everything in one place, making it easily available without needing to switch to other platforms like ChatGPT. This consolidation makes it a lot easier for me since everything is at one place, which simplifies the process and makes my life easier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GitHub Copilot?

Many times, when I want to do a simple change, GitHub Copilot creates multiple documentation files, which are unnecessary for small changes. It's a lot, especially when I'm in a hurry. Also, sometimes the logic it writes isn't correct, and I have to guide it, which feels very childlike at times and requires me to lay down my plans very specifically.
