How I used GitHub Copilot Chat to build a ReactJS gallery prototype
Blog post from GitHub
GitHub Copilot Chat, announced in March, has significantly enhanced developer satisfaction by providing a context-aware conversational assistant within the integrated development environment (IDE). This tool builds upon GitHub Copilot's original capabilities, extending beyond autocompletion to allow developers to ask questions, receive code explanations, and obtain tailored suggestions without leaving their IDE. Particularly beneficial for junior developers and those learning new frameworks, Copilot Chat facilitates rapid prototyping, debugging, and accessibility improvements, as illustrated by its application in a ReactJS photo gallery project. While it offers substantial productivity gains, developers remain responsible for verifying and reviewing AI-generated code to ensure quality and security.
