Using GitHub Copilot effectively

To get the most out of GitHub Copilot, it’s important to customize its behavior to match your coding preferences:

• Tailoring Copilot to your coding style: Access the Copilot settings within your IDE to adjust its behavior. You can specify the types of suggestions you prefer and how frequently they appear. Customize language preferences to ensure that Copilot provides suggestions that are relevant to the programming languages you use most often. You can make use of custom instructions and prompt files that can be stored in the repository to further guide Copilot’s responses and tasks.
• Managing and filtering suggestions: Use the settings to filter out suggestions that don’t align with your coding standards or project requirements. You can also provide feedback on suggestions to help improve Copilot’s accuracy and relevance over time.
