GitHub Copilot AI Pair Programmer Released

[engine]

GitHub has said its Copilot AI is now generally available to all developers for $10 per month, or $100 per year, and free to "verified students and maintainers of popular open source projects."

With GitHub Copilot, for the first time in the history of software, AI can be broadly harnessed by developers to write and complete code. Just like the rise of compilers and open source, we believe AI-assisted coding will fundamentally change the nature of software development, giving developers a new tool to write code easier and faster so they can be happier in their lives.

When you type code or comments, GitHub Copilot suggests the next line of code. But it’s not only a single word or line of code. GitHub Copilot can suggest complete methods, boilerplate code, whole unit tests, and even complex algorithms.
