It can reduce the need for context switching, streamlines the development process, and help developers maintain their focus and momentum, said the company.
“Whether you are a young developer in Brazil learning how to execute a unit test for the first time or a professor in Germany who needs help documenting data, GitHub Copilot Chat enables you to learn and build code through outputs in the language that feels most natural to you,” Zhao said.
GitHub Copilot Chat can suggest best practices, tips, and solutions tailored to specific coding challenges in real time.
Developers can use GitHub Copilot Chat to learn a new language or upskill at speed.
GitHub Copilot Chat can make suggestions for remediation and help reduce the number of vulnerabilities found during security scans.
