What you'll learn

An opening prompt can get GitHub Copilot moving, but you still need to direct the session and decide whether the result works. In this course, GitHub Copilot in Practice, you’ll gain the ability to manage a sustained agentic development session in the GitHub Copilot App. First, you’ll explore how repository instructions, acceptance criteria and reviewing Copilot’s plan prepare a session. Next, you’ll discover how to monitor the session and redirect it when it drifts or lacks context. Finally, you’ll learn how to check the result, correct weak output, and accept only code that meets the acceptance criteria. When you’re finished with this course, you’ll have the skills and knowledge of GitHub Copilot needed to direct a session and assess its results.
