GitHub Copilot X: Generative AI for Developers with .NET C# On-Demand Training

GitHub Copilot is an open-source application that simplifies teamwork using GitHub. It is an AI-based coding assistant that helps developers write code faster. It's available through personal GitHub accounts with GitHub Copilot Individual or through organization accounts with GitHub Copilot Business.

GitHub Copilot started a new era of software development as an AI pair programmer that allows developers to keep up with work when auto-completing comments and code. However, autocomplete with artificial intelligence was only the starting point. GitHub Copilot X is the vision of the future of AI-powered software development that adopts OpenAI's latest GPT-4 models.

GitHub Copilot C# extends beyond the editor and becomes an easily accessible AI assistant throughout the development lifecycle.
