I started using GitHub Copilot on VS Code in September this year.
In just a few months, it has transformed the way I code—saving me hours on repetitive tasks and helping me write cleaner, faster, and more efficient code.
Want to know a secret?
I (pretty much) rely on the same 5 Copilot tricks to supercharge my workflow every day.
Secret 1. Context-Aware Suggestions
Gone are the days of juggling between your IDE and Google. GitHub Copilot analyzes your code in real-time, delivering spot-on suggestions that seamlessly integrate into your project.
Secret 2. Automates Repetitive Tasks
How much time do you spend writing boilerplate code? Copilot eliminates this by generating repetitive patterns like API calls, error handling, or loops, so you can focus on solving complex problems.
Secret 3. Learns and Adapts to Your Style
Every developer has their quirks. Copilot picks up on yours and evolves with your coding preferences, helping you maintain consistency across projects without micromanaging your own work.
Secret 4. Supports a Wide Range of Languages
Switching between languages like Python, JavaScript, and Bash often breaks your flow. Copilot lets you transition effortlessly, offering accurate suggestions no matter the syntax or complexity.
Secret 5. Flattens the Learning Curve
Whether you’re diving into a new framework like React or tackling an unfamiliar API, Copilot reduces the friction with practical examples and intelligent code completions.
