GitHub has announced Copilot, a new AI pair programmer that draws context from the code you’re working on and suggests lines or entire functions.
According to the announcement, Copilot helps you quickly solve problems, write tests, and explore new APIs “without having to tediously tailor a search for answers on the internet. As you type, it adapts to the way you write code—to help you complete your work faster.”
Copilot is powered by OpenAI Codex, which “has broad knowledge of how people use code” and was trained on “billions of lines of public code.” GitHub Copilot works with a broad set of frameworks and languages, including Python, JavaScript, TypeScript, Ruby, and Go. It is now available as a Visual Studio Code extension.
