Use GitHub Copilot for in-editor code assistance

GitHub Copilot integrates directly into VS Code, JetBrains, and other editors. It suggests code completions as you type, generates entire functions from comments, and can explain or refactor existing code. It understands context from your entire project.

Why It Works

Copilot sees your codebase in real time, so its suggestions fit your existing patterns, variable names, and architecture. This produces more usable code than copy-pasting from a chat interface.

Tips

• Write a comment describing what you want, then let Copilot generate the code
• Tab to accept suggestions, Esc to dismiss
• Free for students and open-source maintainers; $10/month for individuals
• Copilot Chat lets you ask questions about your code in a sidebar
