Welcome to the GitHub Copilot Hands-On Workshop! In this workshop, you will learn how to use GitHub Copilot, the world's most widely adopted AI developer tool. GitHub Copilot is an AI pair programmer that helps you write code faster and with fewer errors. It is powered by OpenAI's Large Language Model (LLM), which is a state-of-the-art language model trained on a diverse range of data sources, including publicly available code from GitHub. GitHub Copilot is available as a Visual Studio Code extension and can be used in any language, including Python, JavaScript, TypeScript, Go, Ruby, Java, C++, and many more.
What you will learn:
- Learning how to create good prompts for Copilot
- Using Copilot to simplify and explain code
- Using Copilot after the coding
- Using Copilot to generate tests
- Using Copilot to help with SQL
- Teaching Copilot about updates
