GitHub Copilot Reviews & Product Details

Best useful benefit has to be the auto completion of trivial implementations, for repetitive logic e.g. in tests, extending an existing class which has many methods to be implemented. It provides with a really good draft to get started with. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Still can't fit entire repos in context window, it only limited to the file and surrounding code you are working with. Increasing the context window to atleast all the imported and callee code will increase the fidelity of the compeletions way more. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I just write a multi-line comment and it seems to pick up (while also auto-filling the comments) it will benefit from the method signature and class names being descriptive for it to understand the bigger picture. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

sometimes it makes logical mistakes and assumes something when it's not present in the codebase.

copilot also tends not to write comments or make it quick and dirty not very professional.

the code from Copilot is also not the best performant of all. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It gives you the best possible suggestions while coding. Github copilot understand the code quickly than human. It will reduce the human errors and correct them in best possible way. It has made debugging is so simple and very efficient. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes suggestions are repeating and some it may not be correct at every time. Due to suggestion human can't think properly to improvise the code, So human critical thinking cannot be tested while writing the code. Although these are minor issues you can easily avoid.
