It easily interacts with the IDE context,intakes the necessary data and provides the best compatible solutions.

The best part is, it provides suggestions based on all the GitHub code thats there in the internet. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes the auto suggestions it provides are irrelevant. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Github copilot is working as a problem solver for many developer i have been using it from past 3 months on daily bases, it's an AI tool which can chat with you while proposing best solution for any coding problem, I use it by integrating it with visual studio code, It's very easy to use, all you have to do is install gitlab copilot extension and you can start using it, the best part is you can select a portion of code and it will explain what is the purpose of that code, it can also generate/fix code. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

While their is so much to like about this software, sometimes it can generate unwanted portions of code which needs to be corrected humanly. I suggest to ask questions precisely to get best response and always review code writen by copiot and don't rely completly on its response also make it a habit to use it only when you are not able to resolve some problem.

It is integrated with all the main IDEs . Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

the indepth learning of programming language has been stopped by the programmers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

So Github Copilot is an AI pair programmer that suggests code and entire functions in real time as you type.It understand the existing code and suggest the logic for your feature that you will not think about that.It is trained on billions of lines of code so you do not have to write the logic for the code which someone has already implemented.It supports a wide variety of programming languages like Python, JavaScript, TypeScript, Ruby, etc.It can easily be integrated with your ide for a better experince.It suggest bug fixes and helps reduce repetitive code.This helps much to increase the developers productivity. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

So there are some cons also when working with github copilot which you can get irritated with like its suggestions may not always be correct or match what the developer intends to write. It can introduce bugs or fail to capture nuanced application logic.Sometimes after looking at the suggestions developer tends to think in that way and stops thinking critically about code they are writing.Its also not a free tool so it becomes costly. Copilot may suggest insecure code or introduce vulnerabilities into a codebase that attackers could exploit. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

My approach to coding has been completely revolutionised by GitHub Copilot. Here are a few of the qualities I value most:

Efficiency and Speed: The coding process is greatly accelerated using GitHub Copilot. It provides clever autocompletions, completes variable names, and proposes full lines of code. This expedites creation while lowering the likelihood of error introduction.

Learning and Assistance: It is a fantastic learning tool for both learning and assistance. For the code it generates, Copilot provides illuminating comments, documentation, and explanations. This makes it a useful tool for both experienced developers trying to learn new languages or libraries and newbies looking to learn programming.

Customization: Customization is possible with Copilot, which is extremely advantageous. You can describe your coding style, the behaviour you want functions to exhibit, and make it more personalised. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

While GitHub Copilot is a remarkable tool, it's not without its drawbacks:

Learning Curve: Although Copilot can assist newcomers, it can be overwhelming for beginners due to its complexity. It's essential to have a good understanding of programming basics before using it effectively.

Privacy Concerns: Concerns about privacy and code ownership have been raised because Copilot's code suggestions are generated from publicly available code on GitHub. Users should be cautious when using Copilot for proprietary or sensitive projects.

Code Quality: While Copilot generates code quickly, the quality may not always meet your standards. It's essential to review and test the code it suggests thoroughly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It gives a good recommendation on function definitions, conditional statements and other types of statements. The comment suggestions are good as well. If you want to describe a function's use, it can also do that.

Overall it's like autocomplete on steroids. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

On VS Code, its integration is a bit slow. It takes time to suggest statements. I would have also liked if it provided multiple suggestions.

Also, it lacks the ability to take in the overall context of the project in depth.

Unlike ChatGPT, it lacks the ability to write complete modules depending on the project context.

Imagine a Next.js project and it setting up the pages according to my needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

As a developer, Github copilot greatly helps me in achieving appropriate solutions . It motivates us to code by providing smart coding suggestions and autocompletions. It's quick response time is one of it's best feature. It supports multiple langauges that I love most. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Personally I didn't dislike anything about github copilot. But one thing that , in beggining it is little hard to grasp the platform and some useful features of gihub are paid . Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Github copilot increases efficiency and productivity of development team as its completely customisable and tailor-made according to developers skilllsets.

Based on the context, it offers methods, functions, variables, even complete code blocks. It offers more adaptable and praiseworthy code. Integration with different apps is easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It occasionally offers a significant amount of code that is irrelevant in a given situation. Certain functions are not working correctly.

It occasionally doesn't produce flawless code. It doesn't test the code at fullest. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The most helpful in GitHub Copilot is the feature where you can generate codes in your actual Visual Studio Code editor, and the chat with AI is integrated at the Activity Bar of VS Code Editor, which makes it easy to use Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I think the only downside is when I request to generate codes in the editor, it sometimes edits like the whole method, when sometimes I just need Copilot to generate only one line of code. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Copilot is having simple setup process, just install plugin authenticate yourself with github and done!! Most of the time code generation work like charm, almost like it is reading your mind. useing it everyday with the work. it is too simple to integrate in any of the project work. it will analyze your code and generate exatly what is expected. Customer support is also there just in case you need any help with your account or any other feature related queries. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes code generation needs lots of tweaks just to make it work in your project or code. although it easing your efforts but you cant trust 100% on the code that is generated everytime.

Also, it is paid subscription weather you use it or not you have to pay for the full month. better to have options like number of code generation basis or token basis. Number of IDE support is also limited as of now but seems like this is temporary. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
