Our goal is to provide a self-serve, one-click Copilot experience that will be hosted on Codespaces.
During the the GitHub Copilot+Codespaces Playground Demo, you are in charge! You will have the opportunity to learn more about Copilot, it's features and how it can help you achieve your development Goals!
If you are in need of assistance, we have provided Codetours located in the left hand corner that help guide you through the current Copilot capabilities!
- To get started, start by selecting 'Use this template', and 'Open in a codespace'
- Once the codespace has loaded, select 'Codetour' on the lower left corner, and start the JSONtoUser tour!
- Next, select the play button for one of the tours listed. Enjoy!
What is GitHub Copilot?
GitHub Copilot is an AI pair programmer that helps you write code faster and with less work. It draws context from comments and code to suggest individual lines and whole functions instantly. GitHub Copilot is powered by Codex, a generative pretrained language model created by OpenAI. It is available as an extension for Visual Studio Code, Visual Studio, Neovim, and the JetBrains suite of integrated development environments (IDEs).

What is GitHub Codespaces?
A codespace is a development environment that's hosted in the cloud. You can customize your project for GitHub Codespaces by configuring dev container files to your repository (often known as Configuration-as-Code), which creates a repeatable codespace configuration for all users of your project.
GitHub Codespaces run on a variety of VM-based compute options hosted by GitHub.com, which you can configure from 2 core machines up to 32 core machines. You can connect to your codespaces from the browser or locally using an IDE like Visual Studio Code or IntelliJ. Visit here for more information about GitHub Codespaces
