Supercharged Coding with GenAI

GitHub Copilot is available via a PyCharm plugin or a VS Code extension. The core features of GitHub Copilot in both IDEs are similar, offering the three interaction modes we will cover in this book: chat, completion, and analysis.
However, Copilot is more tightly integrated with VS Code, meaning new features, such as Jupyter Notebook support or switching to newer LLMs, are often released in VS Code before they are available in the PyCharm extension.
Since your GitHub Copilot subscription can be used across multiple IDEs, we encourage PyCharm users to try VS Code to explore Jupyter Notebook support. However, the labs in this book are tailored for both PyCharm and VS Code.
To install the GitHub Copilot plugin in PyCharm, go to PyCharm | Settings | Plugins, then search GitHub Copilot in the marketplace. After installation, you will be prompted to restart your IDE.
