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 ...

"A highly effective AI coding assistant that respects privacy aspects"
What do you like best about GitHub Copilot?

What I particularly appreciate about GitHub Copilot is the combination of efficiency, adaptability, and the variety of AI models it leverages. It doesn’t just provide quick code completions; it actively enhances my workflow by suggesting optimized, structured, and performance-oriented solutions. Whether I’m working on complex logic, debugging, or simply improving code readability, it consistently delivers relevant and high-quality suggestions that align with best practices. (i alternate Claude 3.7 & Gemini Flash models)

Additionally, I value the strong emphasis on privacy and security.

The ability to fine-tune admin settings ensures that sensitive code remains protected while still benefiting from AI-driven assistance. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GitHub Copilot?

The admin settings interface could be better organized.

The navigation feels a bit confusing at first, and it takes time to fully understand all the available options.

While the depth of customization is a strength, a more intuitive hierarchy would enhance the user experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Best AI enhancer for Visual Studio Code"
What do you like best about GitHub Copilot?

GitHub Copilot is a helpful tool for programmers that works like a smart assistant. It looks at the code you are writing and suggests ways to improve it or complete it. For example, if you're working on a project to build a simple website and you type a few lines of code, Copilot can suggest the next lines that might fit well.

It works well with popular coding programs like Visual Studio Code and JetBrains, which are commonly used by developers. So, if you're using one of these tools, it will be easy to incorporate Copilot into your work.

Copilot uses advanced technology and different models, including ones from Anthropic and OpenAI, to understand what you are trying to do. This means it can help you write tests to check if your code works, create documentation to explain your code, or even add comments to make it clearer.

Another cool feature is that Copilot understands plain language. So if you describe what you want, like “I need a function to add two numbers,” it can provide the right code snippet for that.

Finally, because it's part of GitHub, it can access and learn from the vast amounts of code stored in GitHub repositories. This allows it to give you suggestions that are not only smart but also relevant to the specific project you are working on. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GitHub Copilot?

For my use, I haven't found any negative aspects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
