Introduction to GitHub Copilot

A short starting point

This is a single module of about 19 minutes, which makes it the lightest entry point in this set. Its job is to get you from knowing that Copilot exists to having it configured and responding in your editor, and it does that without assuming prior experience with AI tools.

What it teaches

• What Copilot is and how it fits into the editor and the chat interface
• Different ways of interacting with it, so you can choose the right one for a task
• Setup and troubleshooting, which often decide whether a first session goes well

Next step

The hands-on exercise in VS Code is where the module pays off. Once it is done, a longer learning path on the same topic will build on these basics rather than repeat them.
