One more exciting update by VSCode Editor....

GitHub Copilot:

GitHub Copilot is available to GitHub customers with a personal account on GitHub.com and GitHub Enterprise Cloud organizations owned by an enterprise account.

GitHub Copilot is free to use for verified students, teachers, and maintainers of popular open source projects.

If you are not a student, teacher, or maintainer of a popular open source project, you can try GitHub Copilot for free with a one-time 60-day trial. After the free trial, you will need a paid subscription for continued use. For more information, see "About billing for GitHub Copilot."

What can you do with GitHub Copilot?

Convert comments to code
GitHub Copilot uses a special version of GPT-3 that has been trained on a large body of public source code. It is as good at writing natural language as it is at writing code, so in fact it can complete your comments for you. In the example below, we first let it complete our explanation, and then, line by line, we tab through the code that does what we just said in English.

GitHub Copilot for Business gives organizations

  • The power of AI. Millions of developers have already used GitHub Copilot to build software faster, stay in the flow longer, and solve problems in new ways—all right from their editor of choice.

  • Simple license management. Administrators can enable GitHub Copilot for their teams and select which organizations, teams, and developers receive licenses.

  • Organization-wide policy management. You can easily set policy controls to enforce user settings for public code matching on behalf of your organization.

  • Your code is safe with us. With Copilot for Business, we won’t retain code snippets, store or share your code regardless if the data is from public repositories, private repositories, non-GitHub repositories, or local files.

Powered by OpenAI

It is powered by OpenAI Codex to work in real time, right from your editor. GitHub Copilot improves developer productivity and happiness by reducing disruptions, improving flow and increasing the amount of time a developer spends doing satisfying work.

Unlike other code assistants, GitHub Copilot offers suggestions from a model that OpenAI built from billions of lines of open-source code.

Supported languages, frameworks, and IDEs

GitHub Copilot works on any language, including Java, PHP, Python, JavaScript, Ruby, Go, C#, or C++. Because it’s been trained on languages in public repositories, it works for most popular languages, libraries and frameworks. It’s also integrated into your editor, and fast enough to use as you type.
