The course AI with GitHub Copilot course teaches you how to enhance and streamline software development with AI assistance. You’ll explore function generation, testing, documentation, secure collaboration, and ethical considerations—plus look beyond Copilot to future AI tools.
This module introduces GitHub Copilot and the Codex model behind it. Participants learn setup, IDE integration, and supported languages. It covers how Copilot provides suggestions, when to accept or edit code, and the differences between Copilot and ChatGPT. Best practices and Copilot Labs are also briefly discussed.
Participants learn to use Copilot for writing functions, generating tests, and refactoring. It covers documentation, debugging, and prompt strategies. The module highlights boilerplate handling, common code patterns, and how to troubleshoot less useful output from Copilot.
This module explores Copilot in team settings. It covers Git versioning, pull requests, and code reviews. Participants learn about GitHub Actions, automating tasks, and working with secure dependencies. Tips for commit messages and continuous integration are included.
Focus is on generating and maintaining tests using Copilot. It includes unit tests, TDD, and mocks. Tools for test coverage and quality are introduced, as well as automation, test data, and basic security checks during testing.
Participants explore safe Copilot use, covering secure coding and license handling. It addresses bias, responsible usage, IP concerns, and Copilot’s data limitations. The need for human review and code compliance is emphasized.
The final module looks at Copilot alternatives and future trends. It discusses TabNine, CodeWhisperer, and Copilot CLI. Topics include AI-powered IDEs, DevOps support, automated reviews, and how Copilot boosts developer productivity.
The course AI with GitHub Copilot is intended for software developers, DevOps engineers, and technical teams who want to leverage AI to accelerate their development workflows using GitHub Copilot.
Participants should have programming experience with languages such as Python, JavaScript, or TypeScript. Basic understanding of Git and modern development environments is recommended.
This course blends theory with hands-on labs and interactive demos. Real-world software development scenarios and practical examples are used throughout.
Upon successful completion, attendants receive a certificate of participation in Course AI with GitHub Copilot.
