Use this interactive demo to learn how to access and use GitHub Copilot, the AI-powered code assistant.

‍

‍

To access GitHub Copilot, follow these steps: 

‍

  1. Start by opening your settings menu by clicking the gear icon.
  2. From the dropdown, select "Extensions" to browse available add-ons.
  3. Type "GitHub Copilot" in the search bar.
  4. Click "Install" on the official GitHub Copilot extension. 
  5. Click "Allow" to grant permissions.
  6. Mark the required features as "Done" to wrap up installation.
  7. Almost there. Click your profile icon in the bottom-left corner.
  8. Select "Sign in to use AI features" to link your account and unlock Copilot.
  9. Choose your sign-in method.
  10. Click "Continue" to confirm and move forward.
  11. Hit "Authorize Visual-Studio-Code" and you're all set. Welcome to Copilot!

📌 Why this matters

Setting up GitHub Copilot transforms your coding from solo problem-solving into having an AI pair programmer that suggests entire functions, fixes bugs, and writes boilerplate code as you type.

Beyond the obvious time savings, Copilot becomes your learning accelerator by exposing you to different coding patterns and approaches you might not have considered. It's particularly powerful for exploring unfamiliar languages or frameworks, where it can bridge knowledge gaps and help you write idiomatic code even when you're outside your comfort zone.
