FAQs

GitHub Copilot is an AI pair programmer that offers code suggestions and completions based on context and comments, helping developers write code faster while focusing on higher-level problems rather than syntax and implementation details.
No, you don't need AI expertise to use Copilot effectively—basic programming skills and an understanding of your development environment are sufficient to start benefiting from AI-powered code suggestions.
Copilot doesn't replace developers but assists them by handling routine coding tasks, suggesting implementations, and accelerating development—you still direct the overall design and make critical decisions about the code.
Copilot generates contextually relevant suggestions that are often accurate but should always be reviewed—its accuracy improves with clearer prompts, comments, and when working within familiar programming patterns.
While Copilot works with most popular programming languages, it performs best with widely-used languages like JavaScript, Python, TypeScript, Ruby, and Java where it has more training data available.
Copilot integrates directly into your IDE as you code, offering real-time suggestions based on your project context, while other tools typically require explicit prompts in separate interfaces and lack the same level of code-aware integration.
