What do you like best about GitHub Copilot?

So Github Copilot is an AI pair programmer that suggests code and entire functions in real time as you type.It understand the existing code and suggest the logic for your feature that you will not think about that.It is trained on billions of lines of code so you do not have to write the logic for the code which someone has already implemented.It supports a wide variety of programming languages like Python, JavaScript, TypeScript, Ruby, etc.It can easily be integrated with your ide for a better experince.It suggest bug fixes and helps reduce repetitive code.This helps much to increase the developers productivity. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GitHub Copilot?

So there are some cons also when working with github copilot which you can get irritated with like its suggestions may not always be correct or match what the developer intends to write. It can introduce bugs or fail to capture nuanced application logic.Sometimes after looking at the suggestions developer tends to think in that way and stops thinking critically about code they are writing.Its also not a free tool so it becomes costly. Copilot may suggest insecure code or introduce vulnerabilities into a codebase that attackers could exploit. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is GitHub Copilot solving and how is that benefiting you?

Some of the problems that copilot is solving for me like it helps me to reduce repetitive code which is a better way of programming. It write the boilerplate code for me so i do not have to write which also reduces some bugs because human can do mistakes.Sometimes when i am not able to properly think the logic it gives me the direction of thinking in which i should think.Copilot helps me to stay productive at the job.

GitHub Copilot Overview

What is GitHub Copilot?

GitHub Copilot helps more than 1 million developers and over 20,000 businesses push what’s possible in software development. Based on powerful LLMs, including OpenAI’s GPT models, this AI pair programmer helps developers write code faster and with less work by drawing context from comments and code to suggest individual lines and whole functions instantly. All languages are supported, however the more common a language, the better represented it will be in the training data and the more robust suggestions will be.

Product Description

GitHub Copilot is powered by a combination of large language models (LLMs), including a customized version of OpenAI’s GPT that translates natural language to code and additional models from Microsoft and GitHub to further hone and improve upon results. Available as an extension for Visual Studio Code, Visual Studio, Neovim, and the JetBrains suite of integrated development environments (IDEs), GitHub Copilot works alongside developers in their preferred editor, where they can either type as they go or write comments to get coding suggestions. As a result, developers spend less time creating boilerplate and repetitive code patterns, and more time on what matters: building great software. GitHub Copilot was developed with security, privacy, and responsibility in mind. GitHub Copilot for Business never retains customer code from prompts or suggestions. Only users who are on an individual license and choose to opt-in will be retained. Additionally, users can enable a mechanism that blocks suggestions that match public code, even if the likelihood of matches is low.

How do you position yourself against your competitors?

GitHub Copilot has been generally available to developers since June 2022, even before the wide availability of OpenAI’s ChatGPT, and to businesses since December 2022. Over that time, GitHub Copilot has been adopted by over 1 million developers and 20,000 businesses.

Furthermore, it has also been validated to deliver on its purported productivity benefits - developers using GitHub Copilot are coding up to 55% faster and report being 75% more satisfied with their work, which can ultimately lead to organizational impact such as accelerated innovation and greater efficiency.

What do you like best about GitHub Copilot?

What I particularly appreciate about GitHub Copilot is the combination of efficiency, adaptability, and the variety of AI models it leverages. It doesn’t just provide quick code completions; it actively enhances my workflow by suggesting optimized, structured, and performance-oriented solutions. Whether I’m working on complex logic, debugging, or simply improving code readability, it consistently delivers relevant and high-quality suggestions that align with best practices. (i alternate Claude 3.7 & Gemini Flash models)

Additionally, I value the strong emphasis on privacy and security.

The ability to fine-tune admin settings ensures that sensitive code remains protected while still benefiting from AI-driven assistance. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GitHub Copilot?

The admin settings interface could be better organized.

The navigation feels a bit confusing at first, and it takes time to fully understand all the available options.

While the depth of customization is a strength, a more intuitive hierarchy would enhance the user experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is GitHub Copilot solving and how is that benefiting you?

Before using GitHub Copilot, I relied on the premium version of ChatGPT for several months to assist with coding tasks.

While ChatGPT was helpful for general guidance, I often encountered complex bugs and issues in my React projects especially related to UX and interface navigation that it couldn't fully resolve.

GitHub Copilot, on the other hand, has been a game changer.

It not only helps me solve these previously "impossible" bugs but also simplifies my code in the process.

The tool integrates seamlessly into my workflow, offering real-time suggestions that are context-aware and tailored to my needs.

Thanks to Copilot, the improvements and performance of my applications have reached an exceptional level, making it an indispensable part of my development toolkit.

There is truly a "before" and "after" when it comes to using this tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about GitHub Copilot?

It gives amazing suggestions and auto-fills suggestions based on your code's context and your coding style. It's easily implementable to your coding IDE if you're using VS Code as it's already integrated into it as a plugin. It's now a daily part of my coding life! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GitHub Copilot?

Their free limit is very low, would be nice to increase it as it helps a lot of people including students! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is GitHub Copilot solving and how is that benefiting you?

Instead of switching to an AI Chatbot like Chat GPT or Bard to generate code or solve some issues, I can rely on Co Pilot which is built-in to my IDE. Makes the entire coding process efficient as I think they trained it using the Github Repos they have access to! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about GitHub Copilot?

Have been using this for the past year, and let me admit. It's one of the best copilot i've been using so far.

It's just like chatGPT but more easy to use and can be accessed on the IDE by hitting the shortkey.

One of its main strength is the way it can comprehend an algorithm and implement it with due of the respect of the previous syntaxs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GitHub Copilot?

- The model is not trained enough to comprehend a somewhat difficult question

- Sometimes it ignored the prompt that's given

- Hallucination sorta happen. E.g, it calls for a function of a module that doesn't exist Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
