GitHub Copilot X: in-IDE chat, GPT-4 pull requests and Copilot for the CLI
In one sentence On March 22, 2023 GitHub introduces Copilot X: Copilot Chat in VS Code and Visual Studio, GPT-4-generated pull request descriptions, Copilot for Docs, Copilot CLI and Copilot Voice, almost all in preview or waitlist.
Copilot started as a line-by-line code autocomplete. With Copilot X, GitHub presents its vision of AI-assisted development at every stage: you can ask natural-language questions directly in the editor, get code explained, and ask for unit tests or bug fix proposals.
The announcements also cover the rest of the workflow: automatic pull request descriptions, an assistant that answers questions about documentation, one for the command line, and the ability to give instructions by voice.
At announcement time almost all of them are in technical preview or behind a waitlist.
