Generative AI with GitHub Copilot Training Overview
Develop code faster in Visual Studio Code and other leading development environments using GitHub Copilot as your AI-powered pair programmer. GitHub Copilot is powered by OpenAI’s language model, which has been trained on a massive dataset of public code repositories. It helps developers write code by providing suggestions for lines and entire functions, making the coding process faster and more efficient.
Accelebrate's GitHub Copilot training course teaches attendees how to use GitHub Autopilot and its AI capabilities to optimize their coding process properly. Participants not only grasp the theoretical aspects of Generative AI and GitHub Copilot but also gain the ability to apply these technologies to streamline their coding processes, enhance productivity, and innovate their approach to software development.
