GitHub Copilot

GitHub Copilot is a generative AI tool that helps developers write code more efficiently by offering intelligent code suggestions directly in the IDE. It supports multiple languages and integrates with popular editors like Visual Studio Code, JetBrains IDEs, and Neovim.

Copilot draws context from your current code and uses large language models like GPT to predict and complete functions, methods, or even full code blocks. Developers use it to generate unit tests, refactor code, or explore unfamiliar APIs and frameworks. Unlike traditional autocomplete tools, Copilot offers deep contextual understanding. It also features Copilot Chat, allowing developers to interact conversationally with their code.

While it increases productivity, users must review suggestions carefully for security and licensing. GitHub offers different pricing plans, from free trials to enterprise-level features. As the most widely adopted AI coding assistant, GitHub Copilot helps teams ship code faster with higher developer satisfaction.
