What is GitHub Copilot?

GitHub Copilot is GitHub's AI coding product. Its official feature page describes contextual code suggestions and chat assistance in editors, as well as explanations and proposed edits. GitHub also presents agent workflows that can work on a task and return changes for human review. The product spans supported IDEs, GitHub surfaces, and command-line use, although capabilities differ by environment and plan. Copilot can help with repetitive code, understanding a repository, or getting a first implementation started. It should be treated as a development assistant: a human still needs to inspect generated code, test behavior, and verify dependencies and security before merging changes.
