• Language Support: It supports multiple programming languages, including python, JavaScript, Typescript, Ruby and many more programming languages.
• Code Generation: Co-pilot can suggest code snippets functions, functions or even entire classes based on the context provided by the Developer. It aims to speed up coding by providing intelligent suggestions.

Benefits

Increased productivity: it accelerates coding by offering relevant suggestions and reducing the time spent on writing repetitive or boilerplate code.For Developers, co-pilot can provide insights into coding styles, best practices and approaches by suggesting code snippets in real time.

In summary, Github Co-pilot is a promising tool that aims to enhance developers workflows by providing intelligent code suggestions.
