What you'll learn

GitHub Copilot gives you several ways to work, but choosing how much to delegate and knowing whether to trust the result can be difficult. In this course, Strengths and Limitations of GitHub Copilot, you’ll gain the ability to choose the right Copilot workflow for your task and evaluate the work it produces. First, you’ll explore when to stay hands-on with completions, chat, and agent mode in an IDE, and when to delegate implementation through the GitHub Copilot app. Next, you’ll discover how to check convincing output against real requirements and weigh the tradeoffs around autonomy, AI credits, and pricing. Finally, you’ll learn how prompt injection, content exclusion, and public-code matching affect your decisions about accepting generated work. When you’re finished with this course, you’ll have the skills and knowledge of GitHub Copilot needed to choose an appropriate level of assistance and verify the result before accepting it.
