Microsoft’s GitHub today announced GitHub Copilot, a new AI pair programmer that can offer suggestions for whole lines or entire functions right inside your IDE. GitHub Copilot will support variety of languages and frameworks, but the current technical preview version works well for Python, JavaScript, TypeScript, Ruby and Go. GitHub Copilot is powered by OpenAI Codex, a new AI system created by OpenAI. Copilot was trained on billions of lines of public code.
GitHub Copilot understands significantly more context than most code assistants. So, whether it’s in a docstring, comment, function name, or the code itself, GitHub Copilot uses the context you’ve provided and synthesizes code to match.
GitHub Copilot features:
GitHub Copilot is available today as a Visual Studio Code extension. Before trying out Copilot, be sure to check out the following Q&A from GitHub team.
