1:15pm	Stay on to go Hands on with GitHub Copilot During this session, we will look at the generative code capabilities available today as well as some capabilities currently in technical preview. You will have the opportunity to use GitHub Copilot to: - ask general programming questions or specific ones about your codebase to get answers fast, learn your way around, explain a mysterious regex, or get suggestions on how to improve legacy code. - suggest code completions and turn natural language prompts into coding suggestions based on the project's context and style conventions. - Learn how to spend less time searching and more time learning, by getting personalized answers that are grounded in your organization’s knowledge base, with inline citations. - Understand how to keep track of your work, suggest descriptions, and help reviewers reason about your changes. - Check log errors, create feature flags, deploy apps to the cloud. Add capabilities to GitHub Copilot with an ecosystem of extensions from third-party tools and services.
