What you'll learn

Developers have more ways than ever to work with AI coding assistants, but understanding which tools to use, how coding agents work, and when to give them greater autonomy can be challenging. In this course, Introduction to GitHub Copilot, you'll gain the ability to choose the right GitHub Copilot experience and confidently guide coding agents through development tasks. First, you'll explore GitHub Copilot in VS Code, GitHub Copilot CLI, and the GitHub Copilot app to understand their capabilities and differences. Next, you'll discover how the GitHub Copilot app's interaction modes help you collaborate with agents, plan changes, and delegate development tasks. Finally, you'll learn how to guide agents through the development workflow, provide useful context, review results, and maintain control over code quality and security. When you're finished with this course, you'll have the skills and knowledge of GitHub Copilot needed to select appropriate tools, supervise agentic workflows, and approach AI-assisted development with confidence.
