Writing a python program with only GitHub Copilot prompts
In this article I’m going to cover how I use GitHub’s Copilot offering while coding to (mostly) automate away small or repetitive tasks.
What is Copilot?
Copilot is GitHub’s AI coding companion, assisting development with autocomplete suggestions and a (soon to be made generally available) chat client. It has plugins for most major IDEs so you have AI assistance while working on your coding projects.
I have been using Copilot now for just under a year and it’s completely changed the way I code. I can spend less time writing small or repeatable functions and more time thinking about more intricate problems that require solving.
How does Copilot work?
This is a great blog post from GitHub that explains how Copilot uses various sources to decide how best to suggest code when you hit Return to start a new line and a new prompt.
