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 ...

"Efficient Coding Assistant with Steep Pricing"
What do you like best about GitHub Copilot?

I like GitHub Copilot because it means I don’t have to do everything entirely by myself. I’ve been using it for a while, and the AI feels very well trained and exposed to many data repositories, which makes it genuinely helpful. It’s especially useful for debugging and for writing lots of code, and it helps automate repetitive tasks when I run into issues in my own code. I also find it valuable because it seems to have more coding data than other tools and is clearly built for people who code every day. Even when I make mistakes or I’m following tutorials, it still helps by offering autocomplete and suggestions that keep me moving forward. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GitHub Copilot?

At this point, the pricing feels a bit high for what it’s providing, especially given the current competitive market. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Supercharges Coding Efficiency with Seamless Integration"
What do you like best about GitHub Copilot?

I like using GitHub Copilot for writing code faster, generating boilerplate code, creating Spring Boot APIs, React components, and suggesting SQL queries and unit test cases. It's very helpful in providing quick code suggestions while writing Java, Spring Boot, and React applications. I appreciate its ability to reduce manual effort by generating repetitive code and giving good recommendations for logic implementation. I love its smart code auto-completion, real-time suggestions in the IDE, and the ability to generate complete methods, classes, and boilerplate code. It stands out in helping with Spring Boot REST APIs, JPA repository queries, React components, and unit test cases. The best aspect is that it understands code context and quickly suggests optimized solutions, which saves significant development time and boosts productivity. I also enjoy the smooth integration with IntelliJ IDEA, where it delivers real-time code suggestions. The initial setup was smooth and user-friendly, making the onboarding process straightforward and quick. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GitHub Copilot?

Sometimes GitHub Copilot suggestions are not fully accurate for complex business logic and may generate code that needs manual validation. It can also suggest outdated or unnecessary code patterns, and occasionally, the recommendations are repetitive. For large projects, it may not always be possible to understand the complete application context, so developers still need to review security, performance, and coding standards before using the generated code.

"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.

"A Helpful Coding Assistant for Understanding Code and Speeding Up Test Writing"
What do you like best about GitHub Copilot?

I like to use copilot in my day to day work as an assistant that help me to understand code that is not that clear for me and also to help me with code suggestions when the syntax is not familiar for me. Also I use it to help me to implement tests scenarios that can be repetitive to do by hand. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GitHub Copilot?

Sometimes the IDE integration autocompletes the code with suggestions that are not having into account the context of the project and sometimes it ends up putting imports or methods that does not exist. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"GitHub Copilot: A Reliable Pair Programmer"
What do you like best about GitHub Copilot?

GitHub Copilot significantly boosts my productivity by suggesting relevant code in real time and cutting down on repetitive boilerplate. It integrates smoothly with my editor, understands the surrounding context well, and is particularly useful when I’m learning new languages, frameworks, or APIs. Overall, it feels like a reliable pair programmer that helps me move faster and stay in flow without constant interruptions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GitHub Copilot?

Copilot’s suggestions aren’t always accurate and can sometimes generate code with logical, security, or performance issues, so I still need to review everything manually. It also occasionally recommends outdated or less-than-optimal patterns, and the subscription cost can feel steep for individual developers or small teams. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Smooth Setup, Helpful Autocomplete, and Great for Boilerplate Code"
What do you like best about GitHub Copilot?

Auto complete of code from the comments. Side pannel to views multiple solutions is also good option to view all available solutions. Cost is similar to claude 20USD plan. It is also good for writing bioler plate code. Response is also good up to the mark for the feature which I am using. Setup is smooth. And integration is simple Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GitHub Copilot?

Result was not as good as claude code. It works with similar problems, but with I was able to handle complex work with less time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Boost Coding Speed with Contextual Suggestions"
What do you like best about GitHub Copilot?

I like that GitHub Copilot understands the context of what I write and suggests relevant code in real-time, which allows me to program faster without having to leave VSCode to search on Stack Overflow or in the documentation. I also appreciate that it helps me write code faster by suggesting complete functions, assists me with syntax I don't remember well, and is especially useful with Node.js and Python in my personal and professional projects. It saves me time on repetitive and boilerplate code, and it's great for recalling API syntax that I don't use frequently. Additionally, it allows me to explore different solutions when I'm stuck and ensures that the generated code is consistent with my styles, respecting error handling patterns and the use of async await. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GitHub Copilot?

Sometimes the suggestions are incorrect or do not compile, so I have to review them always. Also, the context is limited to the open files, it does not understand the entire architecture of the project. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Effortlessly Accelerates Coding with Minor Hiccups"
What do you like best about GitHub Copilot?

I find GitHub Copilot to be a pretty good tool for writing my code as a full stack developer. It helps me a lot to write code faster and more efficiently, especially when it comes to fixing bugs and creating new features for my applications at work. It's pretty fast to generate code, where tasks that might take two to three days can be completed within an hour or a day with Copilot. This speed helps me to finish my projects and bug fixes quickly without having to wait a long time. I appreciate the agentic mode feature, which really reduces my time in creating code bases and completes the tasks very fast. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GitHub Copilot?

Sometimes when I'm creating code, it stops while generating, saying it reached a limit of 70. I have to click the continue button to resume work. It would be better if the token limit for generating code was higher or if it could resume automatically. Also, sometimes it doesn't understand what I'm saying, especially with my broken English, so I have to be very precise with instructions. I also struggle a bit with the UI.
