After GPT-4 was released, GitHub Copilot adopted it and released GitHub Copilot X. Its optimization focuses on code completion, fixing bugs, code comments, and tests based on billions of lines of code training beyond the GPT models. The combination of the underlying GPT model with the code-training focus enables the two-way natural language and computer language code writing and explanation.
GitHub Copilot uses a combination of technologies to provide its coding experience. When writing code from a single file, it sends at least part of the current file through the internet to the Copilot server. It will also use the prompt...
