Github Copilot

GitHub Copilot is an AI-powered code completion tool developed by GitHub in collaboration with OpenAI. It is designed to help developers write code faster and with less effort by providing intelligent code suggestions and assistance directly within their integrated development environment (IDE). Here are some key features and functionalities of GitHub Copilot:

1. Code Suggestions: Copilot provides real-time code suggestions as you type in your IDE. It can autocomplete entire lines or blocks of code based on the context of what you’re writing.

2. Code Assistance: Developers can interact with Copilot through a chat interface to ask for help with their code, get explanations, or troubleshoot issues.

3. Command Line Help: Copilot can assist with using the command line, offering suggestions and guidance for command-line tasks.

4. Pull Request Descriptions: For Copilot Enterprise users, it can generate descriptions of changes made in a pull request, helping to streamline the code review process.

5. Knowledge Bases: Copilot Enterprise also allows the creation and management of collections of documentation, called knowledge bases, which can be used as context for chatting with Copilot.
