Overview of this book
Cross-functional product teams are under constant pressure to build and ship faster, but too much time is lost to manual coding, slow reviews, and fragmented workflows. GitHub Copilot streamlines day-to-day coding so your team can focus on delivering value to users while maintaining high quality on real projects.
Written by industry experts Rob Bos and Randy Pagels, this book shows how GitHub Copilot supports your work from start to finish. You’ll learn how to turn ideas into tasks, write code with fewer hiccups, spot problems earlier, and understand errors when things go wrong. You’ll also see how Copilot suggests improvements in pull requests and helps fix common build issues, enabling teams to keep moving and ship with confidence.
You’ll integrate GitHub Copilot into daily routines, share it across roles, and make it stick with simple checklists and clear examples. You’ll also track what works, set guardrails, and build an internal community.
By the end, you’ll know when GitHub Copilot helps – and when it doesn’t – and you’ll be ready to write, review, and ship code with confidence on real projects.
