Glad it was helpful!

very useful can we use for build and deploy for pipeline

[@ambilykk]

Copilot Enterprise released on 27th of this month may address this requirement in future. Currently, you can do Code Review using Copilot in IDE only. Please refer the feature comparison at github.com/features/copilot

@@ambilykk Thank you can we do code review for entire workspace ?

[@ambilykk]

Hello @sanketkhandekar2221 , you can ask Copilot to review multiple files using the #file context variable. But, always it is good to review one file at a time. An example prompt looks like @workspace review code in #file:binary-search.py and #file:numberVerifier.py using coding standards defined at #file:py-naming.json Upcoming Code review feature in Copilot Enterprise will review multiple files as part of the PR.

@@ambilykk Ok thank you this annonation is not working correctly it is saying give me peace of code

[@ambilykk]

Hello @sanketkhandekar2221 , don't copy the prompt as it is; instead use the @workspace agent and #file context variable for picking the file. Sometimes, copy of #file will not work, you should type #file and tab to select the actual file. Please refer the Context variables video at kzbin.info/www/bejne/nnusmGuifNl8iLc

@rafaelbertelli89 , I am glad you found it helpful. Thanks for watching.

copilot doesn't pick all the rules in a single go and return random rules applied every time, any idea on this?

[@ambilykk]

Hello @deepakduvedi7075, it may be an issue with the coding standard file or prompt. Could you please review the Standard file - you can use copilot to construct one with specific rules and format.

[@deepakduvedi7075]

@@ambilykk when i re-prompt why you haven’t applied certain rules, it replies I overlooked them and then it applies. Rules file is correct multi time i have to ask and it applies all then :(

[@ambilykk]

@deepakduvedi7075 , Copilot's response is influenced by the context and the prompt you provide. To get the most accurate results, review your initial prompt and make it more detailed and specific, covering all necessary rules and requirements. Just like when asking a colleague for help, the more precise your request, the more accurate the response will be.

[@ambilykk]

Hello @sanketkhandekar2221, if you are looking for an API, it is not available now.

[@sanketskhandekar]

Ok Thank you .
