Exploring GitHub Copilot

GitHub Copilot (hereinafter referred to as Copilot) is a novel AI tool for programmers that can help them write code faster. Unlike IntelliCode, Copilot can take the context of comments and underlying code to supplement your code. Copilot has been trained on billions of lines of code pulled from GitHub repositories, so its knowledge of various programming languages and platforms is quite extensive.

According to the GitHub site, after conducting an analysis on the use of Copilot, it has been found that developers are up to 96% faster in repetitive tasks and that 88% of those who use it feel more productive.

Something to take into account is that the Copilot license costs 10 dollars a month or 100 dollars a year for individuals and 19 dollars for companies, although you can try it for free by starting a free trial from their website:
