Github Copilot Learning Path

I don't think I need to spend time to convince you that Github Copilot is a useful addition to your developer toolbox. The numbers speak for themselves:

  • 46% of new code is now written by AI
  • 55% faster overall developer productivity
  • 74% of developers feel more focused on satisfying work

So the remaining question is how to get started? The answer can be found in the brand-new GitHub Copilot Fundamentals Learning Path. The path is split into two parts: "Introduction to GitHub Copilot" and "Introduction to GitHub Copilot for Business".

Instead of jumping straight into code generation, Planning mode creates a detailed execution plan. If you want more details, have a look at my previous post . Putting plan mode into action VS Code takes a different approach compared to Visual Studio when using plan mode. Instead of a configuration setting that you can activate but have limited control over, planning is available as a separate chat mode/agent: I like this approach better than how Visual Studio does it as you have explicit control when plan mode is activated. Instead of immediately diving into execution, the plan agent creates a plan and asks some follow up questions: You can further edit the plan by clicking on ‘Open in Editor’: ...
