Efficient tool for everyday coding needs
Likeliness to Recommend
What differentiates GitHub Copilot from other similar products?
GitHub Copilot is different from other tools because it works really well with GitHub, which many developers already use for their projects. It can suggest whole lines or blocks of code just from a comment, making coding faster and easier. Plus, it has learned from large amount of GitHub projects, so its suggestions often fit the context better than other tools.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
My favorite aspect of GitHub Copilot is how it understands the context of my code and provides relevant suggestions instantly. This saves me a lot of time, especially when working with specific tasks or code. Its integration with my existing projects on GitHub is useful and helps my development process.
What do you dislike most about this product?
What I dislike most about GitHub Copilot is that it sometimes gives code that's not the best or a bit outdated. This means I have to check and fix those parts myself. Also, it can struggle with really unique or specific project needs, making its suggestions less helpful.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
If you're thinking about using GitHub Copilot, try it for your daily coding tasks. It can save you time on repetitive code. Just make sure to check its suggestions, especially for tricky or unique parts of your project. It works really well with GitHub, so if you already use GitHub, it fits right in.
