GitHub Copilot Basics

Get productive with Copilot immediately — no fluff.

Lesson Notes

GitHub Copilot completes code as you type, using the context of the current file and your recent edits. The best way to use it: write a comment first describing exactly what you want, then press Enter and wait for the ghost text. Accept with Tab, reject with Esc. Copilot Chat (the sidebar) lets you ask follow-up questions about any selected code.

Your Challenge
