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 ...

"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.

"Ideal for agent-based programming with models from other providers"
What do you like best about GitHub Copilot?

For agent-based programming with models from other providers, I would also like to be able to integrate it within VS Code. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GitHub Copilot?

Sometimes using the models is slower than using the provider directly. 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.

"Speeds Up Coding with Smart, Real-Time Suggestions"
What do you like best about GitHub Copilot?

Mostly I like about GitHub Copilot is how speeds up my daily coding. It gives the realtime suggestion, reduces the repeated work and helps when stuck while writing code, especially while learning new frameworks kr fixing small logic issue. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GitHub Copilot?

GitHub Copilot sometimes gives incorrect or over complicated solution for minor issues this the only thing I dislike. Sometimes need to review the code more carefully especially for the edge cases otherwise it can introduce the bugs without you noticing. 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.

"Great for Speeding Up Small Tasks, But Struggles in Large Projects"
What do you like best about GitHub Copilot?

1) Boosts productivity – Saves hours by generating code quickly.

2) Great for small to medium tasks – Works well on focused files and repetitive coding patterns.

3) Helps overcome blank-page problem – Provides a starting point for new functions or modules.

4) Learns from context – Adapts to variable names, function signatures, and coding style in the current file. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GitHub Copilot?

1) Struggles with large codebases – Limited context window means it doesn’t understand big projects with many files.

2) Not always accurate – Suggestions can miss project-specific logic or expectations.

3) Refactoring limitations – Good at writing new code, less reliable for large-scale changes.

4) Slower in big files – Performance and suggestion quality degrade when working on long files. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
