GitHub Copilot is changing the way developers write, understand, improve, and debug code. In this course, you will learn how to use GitHub Copilot effectively as an AI-powered coding assistant and integrate it into your everyday software development workflow. We will start with the fundamentals by learning what GitHub Copilot is, how it works, and how to install and configure it in your development environment. You will then learn how to communicate effectively with Copilot by writing clear and useful prompts.
Throughout the course, we will explore features such as Ask Mode, Plan Mode, and Custom Instructions, and learn how they can help you understand requirements, plan projects, generate code, modify existing code, and solve development problems more efficiently. Instead of focusing only on individual code examples, this course puts a strong emphasis on real-world project development. You will use GitHub Copilot to build practical applications and learn how to approach software development with AI assistance.
You will learn how to generate and improve code, understand existing code, troubleshoot errors, refactor code, make UI changes, and implement new features using GitHub Copilot. We will also work on projects such as a Toast Notification Builder and the Can Boz Com Project to put what you learn into practice. By the end of this course, you will have a practical understanding of how to use GitHub Copilot as part of your development workflow and how to write more effective instructions and prompts to get better results.
