Coding with an AI pair programmer: Getting started with GitHub Copilot
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 14 май 2024
- The explosion of programming languages and frameworks has ironically made development more difficult. Developers need to remember different syntax across different environments, and are finding that a large percentage of code they write is tedious. Acting as an AI pair programmer, GitHub Copilot can help a developer offload those tasks and instead focus on the bigger picture. Let's explore how to get started with GitHub Copilot, its capabilities, and how to make the most out of the tool.

I'm just getting started with Copilot. I have to say this is a GREAT video.
Thank you for Good Demo!
Nailed it... 😎
I see what you did there 😉
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 MADE MY DAY!!!
But only half?
Unfortunately the nail job took about 75% of the attention...
fantastic job, very useful , thank you sir!!
Excellent presentation!
How do you stop it from uploading config files?
Great video !. There is typo in `preselect` . Not sure, was that the reason it have not picked up id and name.
This instructor taught me MVC. Love his teaching style. To everyone distracted by the nails...they are still in beta. With Microsoft's weight behind it, we will all have purple nails in 2 years.
Always Sprinkles✨
High information per minute with personality.
Thanks for this video Christopher 😚👌
Such a great intro and demo. Very clear and easy to understand
Great video. I am curious who is it different than prompting chatgt directly to get the same code? What advantages do I have from using this? Thank you
Its about context. You have a limited input size. And placing the comments in code dictates where the code will go. It is kinda a natural flow. Just getting into it, but i have been in IT for ages.
Good job!
GitHub Copilot has great potential, I wish to see copilot gets trained on the latest data. Right now it's only trained till September 2021 which is way behind.
The content of this demo is great. Christopher Harrison did a good job in making the material easy to absorb. The timestamps provided are very helpful.
With regard to the audio, the volume of this video is incredibly LOW. Even on an expensive Mac Pro with Bose headphones, I'm having to crank the volume all the way up.
Dear @GitHub: Please update your recording technology! You have some fantastic communicators - you're disrespecting them and your audience with your mediocre recording technology.
Great I wish to try
wow! it's amazing, "works shokingly well" in real-time inter-operating systems!

Good Content
I would love for something like OpenAI api based queries so it would be use based costing instead of constant subscription. But I do not code for living so my use case ia different from professionals. Anyhow, these AI tools look very interesting as kind of "coding partners" or additional layer of abstraction.
i am trying to use it to teach my kid some coding... i think asking the right questions always has been my job, and now the AI actually listens ;)
great intro. Love the presenter! rocking that polish 💅
man with polish is horrible
You are vegan... what do you know.
Did Microsoft used the code available on GitHub repos or to train this A.I. model? I mean they technically own all the code someone is pushing on GitHub
I'm a bit late to the party..but perhaps someone will answer anyway...Can I use Github copilot if I dont use Github? If not, is there some other copilot that works without Github?
You have to have a GitHub account and pay through that. But you do not have to host your repository at GitHub if that's what you're asking.
@@webasdf thank you!
The volume is less
Awesome!
If are anything like me and I know I am
Why do I have an impression that there are more comments written by the developer than actual code written by the copilot? 🤔
This tab proximity condition is an awful layer over what is essentially a very good tool. And lets be clear, it is transparently a cost cutting measure to minimise context tokens. This will be sold shortly in the form of a premium layer and after a few development cycle the default will be to include the entire project in the context which is indeed the best thing to do. Currently a coder will have to go in and manually tab the files which will be affected by the work. This is kind of a best guess and increases the possibility of errors. What will happen when the answer is not expected? more prompts... more back and forth. purely because the context was not accurate. Ultimately costing more to guess who... Github!
The audio is super low.
Show the screen and explain, why show the person all the time
For actors to learn expresion.
Heyyyy! I used to watch you in MVA days. Are you still a dog owner?
Hey there!!! Absolutely am! We have a rescue American Staffordshire mix
Please help me GitHub perform wrong action.why it delete my account.and changes my project and profile without my permission.i am only single owner from Pakistan
Please help me
@@AbdulRehman1- Hey Abdul, could you please explain your problem in more detail. I am also from Pakistan and a user of Github Copilot so I might be able to help you out.
But your subscription price is really too expensive. Consumption levels in different countries are different. Have you not considered that different countries adopt different pricing strategies?
The big takeaway is DRY code will be dead and everyone will be writing 5x to 10x more code but will add tech debt with it.
May the holy divine forces protect companies from devs who forget to also write tests for the code they generate with copilot.
Me: Go get me a beer
Copilot: Gets Becks
Me: Uninstall
Hello
Audio volume is too low. Didn't expect this from a major channel like that of Github
no i think your playback device is subpar
I don't understand this "create this" pseudoprogramming prompting. It failed him on stage, and it fails everyone. Why not just write the model header, or if you literally can't do that, "model of name and ..." comment above it, with the verb missing? It seems purposefully awful workflow that's being promoted here.
@@asksearchknock No like, I think it works quite well. As long as you don't try to use it the way he was using it with "comment programming", it is quite good at seeing what you're doing and going from there.
Since GitHub Copilot is built upon an LLM it's probabilistic rather than deterministic, so it doesn't always do the same thing. There will be times where you expect one thing and get another, which is the nature of these types of tools. I left this part in as a demonstration and highlighted now to then work with the tool through rephrasing.
i do think that MS is much below their capabilities with this. i understand that it gets probabilistic at more advanced features and thus more expensive. i would still like to see this tech at the level where it just iterates and reflects until a whole feature is done
Maybe it would be nice to add voice recordings
Copilot is maybe ok for boilerplating, but apart from that it seems to be unable to handle complex task in a complex innovative source code. I never tested it, but after 3 videos explainning the coolness of this tool, I didn't see any code produced by it of something else than handle things developers have handle for decades on their website source code.
Maybe use it first before jumping to conclusions.
By first principle and by reading my comment you would know that even if it's great at what's doing, it cannot solve problems other than the examples I gave.
I sort of use it in my daily web job where everything is already solved by libraries and frameworks. If it does, it means that the work you're doing is nothing more that a modification of what everyone is doing or has done in the past.
I say that from experience: my current daily job is inside one of these big companies that can throw money at everything and use their monopoly to not having to care about innovation.
Furthermore if you understand at what is inside an LLM, you understand that it's really not the right tool to create innovative code and architecture.
I gain much time from it because the job require nothing more than boilerplates and make it works with pile of junk code between yours.
My comment about being slower and providing no benefit at all (searching, understanding high level view of a project and more) is in my opinion still true.
You currently can't trust it when you ask for something simple, how can you trust when it tries (and will hallucinate in doing so) to regurgitate how a complex source code works, because I wouldn't. More, you loose insights if you solely rely on it or will still gives you wrong understanding about some piece of it if you try to use it (detrimental compared to if you don't use it)

@gor_tv
That's not true. I just completed a real-time av streaming project using gstreamer which is quite a complex library to use and it helped me a lot. However, you have to be patient and ask questions very precisely. You might have to repeat the questions once in a while since it has short-term memory and can lose critical information you provided after a couple of questions and answers. The chat capability is the most useful feature to plan and design your project and get chunks of code for specific components.
@vncstudio I think most people answering my old comment didn't get what I said.
You are telling me that it helped you to use a library, which has tutorials, documentation and source code on the internet. I've never said it won't help you in that regard, I said the complete opposite.
People feels attacked when they are attached to something, if you didn't, I am pretty sure you would haven't written this comment. I don't want to be rude though
@@axeldaguerre8838 I certainly do not feel attacked by such a minor thing...LOL. I thought exactly like you that it was okay for some routine boiler plating and would not solve complex problems but it has exceeded my expectations and saved me a lot of time. It does not mean it is perfect. It can take you down a dead-end too yet it is great to jumpstart in domains of solution design and implementation that might be new to you.
Promptcraft > witchcraft
okay what about visual studios 2022? vscode isn't useful
What about it?

Did you have a stroke?
Whats up with the nail polish my man...
It's to make weirdos like you hard.
What's up with it? Don't you like blue?
@@Algardraug i like you to get a job, and touch some grass
must focus on topic... stay focused... I can't
that nails 🤣
Excellent!
Hahah these Ai comments. The internet is dead.
Why do you ware blue nail polish?
Why you care?
Men care for it's community.@@scientist30
😂😂😂😂 guy
i can't get over it too. :) @@scientist30
Because I like color in my life, in particular blue 😀
'One of the most common questions I get asked is ... Purple nails, WTF?
Do the nails get you hard?
Men don't wear nail polish, basta
Why?
@@Algardraug Becuase nail polish makes a hand look very elegant and feminine. My mind yells at me that there is a mistake in the matrix when I see a strong male hand with nail polish. And in reality no mascular man would wear it. And to be honest companys push those people into the camera to show them "we are diverse" although he might be the only one among the entire staff
can paint your nails blue, but can't brush your teeth?
Audio so low and what the heck are those nails bruv
They're painted, look up nail polish
Bro what's wrong with your nails
What's wrong with his nails ?
Some gay shit probably
Why the fuck his nails are painted...
Why the fuck not?
get a job man...touch some grass@@Algardraug
