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 ...

"Boosts Developer Productivity with Flexible AI Models"
What do you like best about GitHub Copilot?

I use GitHub Copilot for backend and frontend development. It helps me identify and interpret bugs faster, improving productivity by reducing the time spent on development tasks. I like that I can choose different types of AI models based on my needs and select how the Copilot works, whether in agent, debug, or ask mode. This feature helps me achieve my goals with fewer prompts, especially when working on different language projects. The setup was easy as GitHub Copilot is very intuitive, though I needed to learn how to build prompts and choose the right AI models. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GitHub Copilot?

Sometimes the agent gets stuck and doesn't make it clear for the user whether it's frozen or still thinking. Also, the consumption info could be more detailed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about GitHub Copilot?

Copilot is super easy to use and integrate, and it helps me code faster with useful suggestions. I use it almost daily because it reduces repetitive work and keeps me moving. I also like the way it provides me access to different AI models in the premium version. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GitHub Copilot?

Sometimes it gives confident but incorrect suggestions, so I still have to double-check things. A few features feel inconsistent, and support can be a bit slow at times. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Intuitive Tool for Repetitive Coding Tasks"
What do you like best about GitHub Copilot?

I use GitHub Copilot for helping in minor coding tasks that are repetitive, mainly with boilerplate code and JSON/data mutations. Its inline suggestions are of great use to me. I find it very easy to use, especially directly inside my VS Code. It also assists in generating commit messages. When I'm coding a feature, it takes context from the file I'm working on and generates suggestions. The initial setup was very easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GitHub Copilot?

It needs to be more accurate at times, it sometimes generates rubbish code. More features like uploading images inside of VS Code only, voice commands etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Essential AI Tool for Effortless Coding and Debugging"
What do you like best about GitHub Copilot?

I like Github Copilot as it helps me in generating codes, debugging errors. So that as an automation engineer, I can directly focus on problem solving. It is very easy to use/implement. Also the agent of copilot helps me in reading the errors from the terminal and provides me the best solution. I am using Github Copilot in day-to-day life. Also it is integrated in my teams/outlook, vs code to debug the code and so on. Overall I feel copilot to be the one of the best AI tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GitHub Copilot?

Copilot sometimes produces code that looks correct but has some errors. When a codebase is huge or deeply interconnected, Copilot sometimes fails to provide the exact solution. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Speeds Up Coding with Cutting-Edge AI"
What do you like best about GitHub Copilot?

I like that GitHub Copilot incorporates lots of different AI models. It's quick to get the latest models and updates, and it's easily accessible in my preferred code editor, Visual Studio Code. I find it helps speed up my work and provides initial solutions, which is really beneficial. It gets more valuable over time as the frontier AI models get better. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GitHub Copilot?

While it's easy to get started with GitHub Copilot, a lot of the features are hidden in various menus and such. I attended a workshop that helped me understand how to use it, but it would've been difficult to figure out all on my own. Also, there's a learning curve for more advanced usage.

"One of the best AI Copilot tools on the market, though it still needs some improvements."
What do you like best about GitHub Copilot?

I love the entire GitHub Copilot ecosystem. The integration between GitHub and VS Code is wonderful. Creating issues directly from VS Code or opening a pull request from an issue is an excellent way to boost team productivity. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GitHub Copilot?

I think the VS Code Copilot extension needs some improvements. Its RAM consumption is high, and its response time is slower compared to tools like Windsurf or Cursor. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Efficient but Needs Stability Improvements"
What do you like best about GitHub Copilot?

I find GitHub Copilot pretty good and very fast. I appreciate how it always solves the problem in correct ways, even though sometimes it makes mistakes. With refined prompts, it's working very well. The agent mode is very useful for me; it starts to create code and fixes bugs very fast, providing feedback and thoughts, which is great. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GitHub Copilot?

I find that when working in agent mode, it takes too much time, and sometimes it might not be stable. It requires more tokens, and while being worked on, it stops suddenly, which means I have to restart again. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
