GitHub Copilot Beginner to Pro - AI for Coding & Development

Link to the course

My Thoughts & Learnings

• @workspace: Never knew about this before—seems useful.
• Highlighted then ask: Adding more context can improve Copilot’s suggestions.
• Inline chat:
  • Using comments can help guide Copilot better.
  • Comment-driven prompts: Should describe the expected outcome rather than the steps to achieve it.
• Scanning vulnerabilities: Useful feature for detecting issues in the codebase.
• @vscode: Can be used to ask Copilot about VS Code-related queries.
• Copilot CLI / GH CLI: Supports Copilot but doesn’t seem particularly exciting yet.
• @terminal: Can use Copilot to generate code snippets.
• Shortcuts: Using hashtags in chat speeds up interactions.
• @workspace /new: Can create new projects, but it's outdated and not recommended.
