Hello everyone, I am the principal.
When Microsoft connected the GPT-4 model to the Office family bucket last week, I thought: Isn’t GitHub acquired by Microsoft? Then will GitHub also connect to GPT-4 in the next step? After all, after the release of GPT-4, the convenience of writing code is much better than that of GPT-3.5. Wouldn't it be even more powerful if you docked GPT-4 on GitHub's Copilot?
Sure enough, just last night, GitHub released the Copilot X intelligent programming assistant, adding the OpenAI chat function to the coding tool, allowing programmers to ask how to complete certain coding tasks.
GitHub Copilot X is a brand-new intelligent programming assistant that uses OpenAI's latest GPT-4 model. It can not only automatically complete code and comments, but also communicate with developers through chat and voice to help them understand, modify, test and Optimize your code.
GitHub Copilot X is an upgraded version of GitHub Copilot that adds a chat interface similar to ChatGPT to the code editor, allowing chatbots to recognize and explain code, and provide modification suggestions and bug fixes. Developers can bring up Copilot X from the sidebar of the IDE and send commands to it.
It is said: Copilot Chat will provide preview versions in Visual Studio and VS Code starting today, and other IDEs will be supported later.
GitHub CEO said: "Copilot X is a showcase of our vision for the future of Copilot, which means AI will be involved in every step of the developer lifecycle."
Copilot X has a complete view of the IDE, so it knows what the developer is typing in the editor. GitHub Copilot X can not only complete basic auto-completion functions, but also become a real programming assistant, just like Microsoft's new Copilot for Microsoft 365 applications. If you take over a decades-old project that lacks documentation, you can turn to Copilot to help you. Copilot can analyze your code for security holes or explain what blocks of code do, and even help you rewrite parts of your code or add helpful comments. Copilot can also help you find relevant documentation information, such as React, Azure docs, and MDN, and use AI to generate answers.
In addition, Copilot can also help you generate unit tests or pull request descriptions. Copilot also supports voice interaction, "Hey, GitHub!" allows you to use voice commands Copilot to answer questions or give code suggestions.
To briefly summarize here, how amazing is Copilot X for programmers, and in what ways can it help programmers improve efficiency?
1. You can help programmers write codes through chat, for example: write me a xxxx algorithm, and it may be completed in one go;
2. It can be completed intelligently. Copilot can do it before, but with GPT, it is even more powerful;
3. It can help you identify and explain the code. In other words, it can help programmers write comments. Programmers hate writing comments. With the help of Copilot X, other colleagues no longer have to worry about me not writing comments.
4. It can help you test and modify the code, provide suggestions for modifying your code or point out errors.
5. Can help you do PR work.
6. Can help you find document information.
You see, isn't the efficiency of programmers greatly improved in this way.
Of course, does this mean that the threshold for programmers has been lowered?
