GitHub Copilot is an AI-powered coding assistant developed by GitHub and OpenAI. It acts as a pair programmer, suggesting code snippets and entire functions in real-time directly within your IDE. It helps developers write code faster and more efficiently by understanding the context of your project and providing relevant suggestions.
GitHub Copilot offers a free tier for verified students, teachers, and maintainers of popular open-source projects. There is also a limited free tier for individual developers with restricted usage. Paid plans include 'Copilot Pro' for individuals and 'Copilot for Business' and 'Copilot Enterprise' for organizations, offering more features and unlimited usage.
GitHub Copilot uses a sophisticated AI model trained on a vast dataset of public code. When you write code, it analyzes the context (current file, surrounding code, open files) and sends this information to the AI model, which then generates probabilistic suggestions for the next lines of code or entire functions. These suggestions are presented to you within your IDE.
