GitHub Copilot

What is GitHub Copilot?

GitHub Copilot is an AI-powered coding assistant developed by GitHub and OpenAI that helps developers write code faster and with less effort. Launched as the world's most widely adopted AI developer tool, Copilot integrates seamlessly into popular IDEs like Visual Studio Code, Visual Studio, JetBrains, and Neovim, providing real-time code suggestions as you type.

At its core, GitHub Copilot offers inline code completion powered by advanced AI models, suggesting entire lines or blocks of code based on your context. Beyond autocomplete, Copilot Chat brings conversational AI directly into your editor, allowing you to ask coding questions, request explanations, debug errors, refactor code, and even generate tests—all without leaving your IDE. With support for 20+ programming languages including Python, JavaScript, TypeScript, Go, Ruby, Java, and C#, Copilot adapts to your workflow and coding style.

GitHub Copilot also features Workspace agent mode, which can plan and implement features across multiple files, and integrates with GitHub's pull request workflows for code reviews. Available in multiple tiers—from a free plan with limited completions for casual coders to Pro and Pro+ plans with unlimited completions and premium AI model access—GitHub Copilot is trusted by millions of developers and organizations worldwide to accelerate coding, reduce repetitive tasks, and focus on solving complex problems rather than boilerplate code.
