Intro to GitHub Copilot in Visual Studio

[@AldenteGG]

If you can't find GitHub Copilot extensions, like I couldn't, it's because it's no longer required to download Copilot in newer version of VS despite what (outdated) documentation might say. Simply log in, there is a button near the top right of the window as of mid 2024. You may need to refresh your credentials after logging in (or restart).

Thanks!

Thanks!

Thanks a lot!

What an amazing AI feature from GitHub! It will definitely revolutionize the coding and development 👌👌

[@karshiladitya]

Simple and effective! Thank you!!!

[@RosyM-w2e]

Muy bien compadre ..... exactly what I needed... quick and to the point...awesome, keep them coming !

[@gaiustacitus4242]

I love the way Copilot let you create a bug in the code that calculates the birth year without even cautioning that the algorithm is not reliable.

[@eduardoalbarado]

Well done Bruno!! No tengo nombre para agradecer!🤭

[@ShuvradebKar]

short, powerful content. Thank you

[@phizc]

There should be a way to accept suggestions word by word. Copilot sometimes create suggestions that fill the entire screen, and most of the time only the beginning is correct. E.g. I'm going to make a method, and it creates the correct signature for it, but then it also want to fill in the full implementation too.

[@shahryarsaljoughi6073]

It now exists in VS Code.

[@elbruno]

This is great feedback, thanks!

[@bblair2010]

I do not see the extensions from the extension menu nor when I download the extensions they do not install, despite me having the latest version of Visual Studio Professional installed. I could only get GitHub CoPilot chat installed, from the Visual Studio installer.

[@AldenteGG]

Yes I believe GitHub Copilot is now integrated into newer version of Visual Studio. You just need to sign in and possibly refresh your credentials. Might take a restart. That worked for me when I couldn't find any extensions.

[@gadiorellana7786]

Ufff Gracias, demasiado buenas las explicaciones y se agradece bastante

[@Ilix42]

The slash commands are extremely enticing, but from the site it looks like they're only available starting at the second paid tier, is that correct? If so, that's quite unfortunate. :(

[@jayakumar2927]

Issue : Auth Status: NotAuthorized. You don't have access to GitHub Copilot.

[@arielperassi6351]

Espectacular !!!! Gracias bruno por todos esos tips.

[@Robertking1996]

This was great, thanks

[@henrikcarlsen1881]

Good video, I realized that I hadn't installed the chat. A small suggestion to the author is to work on pronouncing "suggestion" correctly. Luckily, the subtitles worked flawlessly.

[@elbruno]

that's for the feedback! I'll work on that :D

[@RomuloMagalhaesAutoTOPO]

Great

[@BarqKadapavi]

Awesome!

[@nisimkadosh]

Thanks for sharing this video! Why do I not have the askvs command in the GitHub Copilot chat?

[@bitcoinjc]

Awesome

[@sykq]

la hiciste simple, que crack

[@yoanadimitrova8760]

How is copilot better than intellisense?

[@BiancaLonghi]

why alt + . and alt + , don't work on visual studio 2022? For example, when I type "alt + ." copilot logs [INFO] [CopilotProposalSourceProvider] Completion rejected

[@elbruno]

Wow, that's strange. Feel free to report that as a bug, directly from VS

[@scottforsythe2024]

It's not much use for php development or any other language that has had updates in the last 3 years. It doesn't know anything after Sep 2021 (it's May 2024). it only knows up to php 8.0 (which isn't supported anymore, the latest version is 8.3.7). I'm guessing this will be the same problem with all languages.

[@Pancho9ok]

Does someone knows why I don't have askvs slash command? I only have doc, explain, fix, help, optimize and tests.

[@amannan-123]

maybe update IDE and Extension to the latest version if you haven't already.

[@DavidFisher-b1h]

Where is dark mode?

[@elbruno]

While coding, I use dark mode. For recordings, I switch to white. You may tell about my face from time to time :D

[@magikarp2063]

Alt + / does nothing for me.

[@patrickblot3224]

Oui pareil, c'est moins pratique a utiliser, surtout quand on le voit fonctionner dans VSCode ou IntelliJ. Ici, pas de chat a proprement parler, l'inline suggestion accessible si authentifié, le chat (quel chat?), bof bof

[@greg2fs]

@@patrickblot3224 Il doit y avoir une autre combinaison de touche avec AZERTY

[@elbruno]

That's weird. Feel free to report that as a bug directly from the IDE. Best.

[@jorgepedraza1275]

Cost? 🤔

[@MrGeekGamer]

$10! Not worth it.

[@CarlMGregory]

Maybe not for an amateur coder. It is worth it for a professional though.

[@MrGeekGamer]

@@CarlMGregory Keep writing code and you’ll become a professional just like me eventually little guy.

[@MiningForPies]

“Step 1, install extension” Oh well stopped at the first stage by work policies blocking me from installing my own software.

[@elbruno]

Now it's part of Visual Studio, so if you can upgrade to the latest versions, you should got it!
