This course introduces GitHub Copilot as a powerful AI coding assistant that integrates directly into your development environment. This is radically different from traditional coding, as GitHub Copilot actively participates in writing, reviewing, and improving your code.
Starting with the initial setup in your IDE and CLI, you’ll get to Copilot’s inline code completions and Copilot chat features. Then you’ll dive into writing prompts that guide Copilot effectively, generating unit tests, debugging code, and refactoring using Copilot suggestions. You’ll learn everything about Copilot workflows, including code reviews, Git, pull request management, and productivity tools in building a modern project.
By the end, you’ll develop a solid understanding of GitHub Copilot’s capabilities and gain confidence in applying AI to write and manage code efficiently. This journey prepares you to tackle advanced Copilot features and larger, team-based projects while following best practices for AI-assisted development.

"You guys are the gold standard of crash-courses... Narrow enough that it doesn't need years of study or a full blown book to get the gist, but broad enough that an afternoon of Googling doesn't cut it."
