Getting Started

In order to get started with GitHub Copilot, you will need to install the GitHub Copilot extension in your IDE. Once you have installed the extension, you can start using it to generate code snippets.

CodeTour

CodeTour is a Visual Studio Code extension that allows you to create a guided tour of your codebase. This can be used to help new developers onboard to a project or to provide a guided tour of a repository.

This repository also contains CodeTour files that you can use to get a guided tour of the repository. To get started with CodeTour, you will need to install the CodeTour extension in your IDE.

Once CodeTour is installed, you will see a new CODETOUR section under the VS Code activity bar.

Exercises are available for the following languages:

• JavaScript Readme - JavaScript Exercise
• Python Readme - Python Exercise

Self-Paced Coding Challenge

At the end of the training, participants will be given a self-paced coding challenge. This challenge will test their understanding of GitHub Copilot and their ability to use it to generate code snippets.

Follow the instructions provided in Tank Game Challenge to complete the coding challenge.
