Master GitHub Copilot – From Basics to Advanced AI Coding

Create an empty folder, open it in VS Code, set up and activate a Python virtual environment, then create a demo folder with hello world.py to print hello world.

Log into your GitHub demo account, create your repository named 'my python project 2' with a description, and select a Python gitignore before creating.

Learn to connect your local project to a remote GitHub repository by setting up an SSH key pair, configuring SSH, and adding the public key to GitHub.

Connect your local repository to a remote GitHub repo to enable two-way sync with git init, set origin, fetch, merge, add, commit, push, and merge a pull request on master.

resolve the default branch conflict by aligning local and remote names: rename the local master to main, then pull from origin to sync with the remote main.

Create and work on a local branch, commit changes, push to a remote branch, and open a pull request to merge into the main branch.

Learn to create a local feature branch from the existing feature, make changes, commit, push, and open a pull request to merge into the remote feature branch, not main.

Explore GitHub Copilot chat modes in Visual Studio Code: agent mode for multi-step project setup, ask mode for questions and suggestions, edit mode for patching code, configure modes for rules.

Explore GitHub Copilot chat in the web interface, with model options, repository-specific contexts, and spaces for collaborative work on issues, pull requests, code, and git commands.

Learn how to provide context in Copilot chat by selecting files such as a520.py and repositories, attaching extensions, or uploading files, so Copilot tailors code help to your project.

Master agent mode in copilot chat to write and run code, including a palindrome function with a docstring, a function call, and running the file in the terminal.

Discover how Copilot Agent writes dedicated unit tests for a feature, creates a test file, runs tests, and automatically fixes errors until all tests pass.

Use copilot to debug a feature in A521.py, fix issues in the multiply and factorial, and create a unit test file test A521.py to run all six tests.

Use Copilot agent mode to commit all changes and push to the remote origin, or selectively commit specific files, then create and merge the PR after review.

Discover how special context tags in Copilot work, add files with the hash key, and use context commands to fetch articles and summarize key points.

Discover how to build multi-layer projects with Copilot from scratch to end, using a Python Flask to-do app with endpoints to add and delete tasks and run locally.

Explore slash commands in the Copilot editor, using extensions to run workspace, terminal, and project actions like explain, search, new files, notebooks, unit tests, and save chat history.

Explore extensions inside Copilot Chat, including terminal, VS Code, workspace, and GitHub; log into GitHub, connect your account, and run commands like summarize PRs or fetch latest commits.

Explore GitHub Copilot chat on the web, using repo context to query commits and PRs, then create, assign, and close issues with built-in workflows.

Explore code generation with Copilot Web to create files, manage a profile readme, and build a guessing game in a repo via pull requests and merging, without using an IDE.

Explore pulling requests with GitHub Copilot chat, summarizing your latest PR and reviewing open PRs. Approve, merge, and observe automated code changes and comments.

Explore basic and advanced git commands through Copilot Web, including creating and switching branches, merging, stash, cherry-pick, revert, and reset, using end-to-end workflows in the web chat.
