AMA: GitHub Copilot - Coding with an AI pair programmer
5:00 PM - 6:00 PM (UTC)
We’ve all seen the demos showing how GitHub Copilot can generate code for us with just a couple of prompts. But how do we bring that into our development process? How do we get the most out of the tool? Let’s explore all of this and more as we walk through prompt engineering - the process of providing an AI tool (like GitHub Copilot) the context it needs to generate strong suggestions. We’ll demonstrate how to ensure Copilot is using the right context, and how we can ensure our flow optimizes how GitHub Copilot behaves. There will also be plenty of time to answer questions!
