GitHub Copilot

GitHub Copilot is an AI-powered coding assistant developed by GitHub and OpenAI, designed to enhance software development with AI-driven code suggestions. By leveraging machine learning models trained on billions of lines of code, GitHub Copilot offers real-time code completions, snippets, and entire function suggestions based on a developer’s coding context.

Unlike traditional autocomplete tools, GitHub Copilot understands the intent behind the code, allowing developers to write software faster, with fewer errors, and in multiple programming languages, including Python, JavaScript, TypeScript, Go, and more.
