GitHub Copilot
Your AI pair programmer

Powered by OpenAI’s Codex model, it integrates seamlessly into VS Code, JetBrains IDEs, Neovim, and other editors. Copilot understands context from your codebase, comments, and function names to suggest entire functions, boilerplate code, tests, and even complex algorithms. Copilot Chat adds conversational AI directly in your editor for explaining code, fixing bugs, and generating documentation.
