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.

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 Boosts My Productivity Like Never Before"
What do you like best about GitHub Copilot?

What I appreciate most about GitHub Copilot is that it feels like having an intelligent coding partner right by my side. It quickly generates boilerplate code, offers context-aware suggestions, and can even break down complex logic into simpler explanations. Rather than wasting time searching for minor syntax details or handling repetitive tasks, I’m able to concentrate on addressing the real business challenges. This not only accelerates my workflow but also increases my confidence while coding, particularly when I’m exploring new frameworks or programming languages.

What do you dislike about GitHub Copilot?

Sometimes, GitHub Copilot suggests code that appears correct at first glance but doesn't always fit my exact use case, so I still need to review its suggestions carefully before committing. In some situations, especially when dealing with very project-specific logic, its recommendations can be a bit too generic. Another minor drawback is that it occasionally slows down when working with larger files or if my internet connection is unstable. However, these issues are relatively minor compared to the significant amount of time it saves me each day. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"My Experience as a newbie"
What do you like best about GitHub Copilot?

GitHub Copilot is very useful for beginners especially to those who have no clue what they are doing but have bunch of ideas. It helps them build a road map to assist them how to start there coding journey not only to newbie's but it also assist veteran with there coding whether its helping with some problems they encountered on there way or just with simple code. It also suggest very useful things like in my own case it helped me to find what I need to learn to obtain my goal of building a project. Its also very easy to use just like the new trending other AI's. It also answer the questions in very simple way and helps us users understand what we did wrong or what should be done easily. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GitHub Copilot?

Well I think that GitHub Copilot is very dependable I mean for the beginners we just become very reliant on it, I think instead of just giving all the answers It should some features like makes us able to learn why those were wrong or how to avoid making similar mistakes. Also sometimes it just gives wrong codes which is not a big problems for veteran but for newbie its a whole new story they get more confused and may cause demotivation. Also the paid subscription seems to be expensive especially for the students and to the users of third world countries. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
