The GitHub Copilot Handbook
By :
GitHub Copilot’s greatest value emerges when you combine its features, code completions, comments to code, Ask Mode, Edit Mode, and Agent Mode into seamless workflows that mirror how real developers and engineers work. By chaining these tools, you can move from idea to implementation, review, and automation with greater speed and confidence, regardless of the code, script, or config file you’re working in.
This section shows how GitHub Copilot’s capabilities support you through a realistic task, from writing new code to improving it, automating bulk changes, and documenting, all in a single, productive flow.
