Getting Started with GitHub Copilot

The second part of the book will go into the main features in the different supported editors in depth: we start with suggestions while you type and take you to the chat interface with its different modes (Ask, Edit, and Agent Mode). You’ll learn what the differences between these modes are, and when to use them for different types of tasks.

After getting to know the main features, we take things a step further by showing additional functionalities that extend the editor experience, especially during debugging. You’ll see how GitHub Copilot integrates with the terminal to make fixing runtime errors and debugging issues even easier. We then close off by looking at advanced collaboration features in editors, such as the pull request extension in VS Code, where GitHub Copilot can assist with writing PR titles and descriptions and even help with the initial review, all directly within your editor environment.
