How It Works
GitHub Copilot works as an extension in your code editor, analyzing the code you're writing and the files in your project to provide contextual suggestions in real-time. As you type, Copilot offers inline completions that can range from a single line to entire functions. The chat feature allows you to ask questions about your code, request explanations, or get help with debugging. Copilot considers your open files, comments, function names, and project structure to generate relevant suggestions. The CLI assistant helps with terminal commands, and PR summaries automatically generate descriptions for pull requests.
