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 ...

"Intellisense and Code Optimization Make Coding Effortless"
What do you like best about GitHub Copilot?

What I find most compelling is its Intellisense feature, which provides code references for any programming language and predicts potential errors. Additionally, the way it optimizes code for both functionality and readability is extremely helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GitHub Copilot?

At times, I find that the predictions from Copilot are not particularly helpful, and the frequent prompts and popups can be quite distracting. Additionally, when I have certain extensions installed, GitHub Copilot occasionally lags while loading. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great integration and features, but quota limits hold back full potential"
What do you like best about GitHub Copilot?

I love how easy GitHub Copilot is to use and its smooth integration with different IDEs. The autocomplete feature in VSCode is super helpful, and I really appreciate that Copilot can read through the entire codebase, not just one file, which makes coding way more efficient. Also, having different AI models to choose from gives me options depending on my needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GitHub Copilot?

The new quota system limiting the advanced AI model is frustrating for developers, as it’s often not enough for real coding work. The basic AI model feels less helpful and sometimes makes errors similar to ChatGPT 4.1, which slows down progress. It’s a bit disappointing since the advanced model is what really boosts productivity. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
