GitHub Copilot is available as a Visual Studio Code extension and is technically free to use for everyone who has access to the extension. However, access to the extension is currently limited to verified students, teachers, and maintainers of popular open source repositories on GitHub. For those who do not fall into these categories, GitHub Copilot can be accessed through a paid subscription plan, with a monthly cost of $10 USD and a yearly cost of $100 USD.
Github Copilot Ai Tool
Github Copilot
GitHub Copilot is an AI-powered coding assistant developed collaboratively by GitHub and OpenAI. It goes beyond traditional code autocomplete tools by offering complete lines, functions, or even entire code blocks based on coding context and intentions. This tool integrates with GitHub code repositories, making it valuable for collaborative development, assisting in pull request reviews, suggesting changes, and enhancing productivity. GitHub Copilot supports various programming languages like JavaScript, Python, Ruby, and more, and is compatible with popular Integrated Development Environments (IDEs) such as Visual Studio Code. It comes with its own licensing and pricing model, offering both free and paid tiers with additional features for commercial use. While GitHub Copilot has impressive capabilities in generating code based on context and descriptions, developers should review its suggestions to ensure correctness, security, and adherence to project-specific standards.
