GitHub Copilot Extensions: Copilot Extensions enables developers to build and deploy to the cloud in their natural language with their preferred tools and services, all without leaving the IDE or GitHub.com. With Copilot and now Copilot Extensions, developers can stay in the flow longer, uplevel their skills, and innovate faster. Imagine you’re a developer who just got paged on an incident for a database-related error. You’re trying to get context of the issue from a variety of tools. It could be from a GitHub issue or audit logs in DataStax. With enough context, you start troubleshooting what could be the cause, going to tools like Sentry for error monitoring to learn more. Then, you have to figure out a solution, apply the fix, and then deploy with Azure. In this scenario, there is a lot of context-switching. Copilot Extensions bring this whole process together. From GitHub Copilot Chat, you can now easily invoke all of these tools to get context, perform actions, and generate files and pull requests—accelerating workflows across more tools. https://lnkd.in/dW6-9bM8

Today, we’re launching GitHub Copilot Extensions to bring the world’s knowledge into the most widely adopted AI developer tool. Copilot just got a whole lot bigger. Thank you to DataStax, Docker, Inc, LambdaTest, LaunchDarkly, McKinsey & Company, Microsoft Azure, Microsoft 365, MongoDB, Octopus Deploy, Pangea, Pinecone, Product Science, ReadMe, Sentry (sentry.io), Stripe and all future partners. And it's just the beginning. Over the coming months, we’ll expand this ecosystem through the hundreds of partners that have already signed up for the Copilot Partner Program. Together, we will make GitHub Copilot the most integrated, powerful, intelligent AI developer platform on the planet. All so any developer, in any natural language, can access an ecosystem of knowledge right within Copilot, and build to the fullest expanse of their own creativity. Let’s build from here. https://lnkd.in/eT4gDyzP

With GitHub Copilot Extensions, we are reinventing how software developers build their products. From managing feature flags with LaunchDarkly, connecting to databases with DataStax, deploying instantly to the cloud with the new Microsoft Azure extension, or resolving exceptions with Sentry (sentry.io) – Copilot is transforming into an intelligent AI developer platform that makes the whole platform engineering stack accessible right where we write, debug, review and run code. GitHub Copilot is world building from within. This new world begins today.

With GitHub Copilot, we quickly learned the importance of keeping developers in the flow and focused on what they love most: code. But we know developers need flow everywhere: from code review, to observability, to project management, and documentation. GitHub Copilot Extensions represents not just a step toward progress for GitHub, but a fundamental leap in how developers, or anyone who wants to create, can have everything they need to go from idea to production right at their fingertips. ✨

Love this collab wiith GitHub 🚢. “And, with the Sentry extension, you can resolve pipeline issues in natural language.” #Developerfirst. GitHub Sentry (sentry.io) #developers #code #bugs #errors #performance #tracing

GitHub has announced the introduction of GitHub Copilot Extensions..... which aims to enhance the developer experience by integrating a wide range of tools and services directly into the development environment. This new feature allows developers to stay in their workflow longer and perform more tasks using natural language. The extensions are supported in GitHub Copilot Chat on GitHub.com, Visual Studio, and VS Code. 1️⃣Partner Ecosystem: Initial partners include DataStax, Docker, LambdaTest, LaunchDarkly, McKinsey & Company, Microsoft Azure and Teams, MongoDB, Octopus Deploy, Pangea, Pinecone, Product Science, ReadMe, Sentry, and Stripe. 2️⃣Developers can build and deploy to the cloud, access internal libraries, and use custom monitoring systems without leaving their IDE. 3️⃣Marketplace and Private Extensions: Extensions will be available on the GitHub Marketplace, and organizations can create private extensions for their internal tools. 5️⃣Workflow Integration: Copilot Extensions enable developers to get context, perform actions, and generate files and pull requests, thereby accelerating workflows. https://lnkd.in/e2Pe32xZ https://lnkd.in/e4jCBWFu #ai #artificialintelligence #githubcopilotextensions

Developers have been raving about this innovative AI code generation tool, praising its ability to boost productivity by a whopping 55%. Despite some concerns about financial performance, Microsoft's VP of product Mario Rodriguez assures us that GitHub Copilot is thriving, generating an impressive annual revenue of $100 million. This success is further evidenced by the significant increase in the number of paid users, with a 40% growth in the paying customer base for Copilot software in the September quarter. Microsoft is clearly making its mark in the code generation space. 💪💻 📉However, the financial discussions surrounding GitHub Copilot have raised questions about its costs and pricing strategy. With reports stating that GitHub was losing more than $20 per user each month in 2023, there is speculation that the current subscription plans may not be sustainable for Microsoft. The high compute requirements of the underlying OpenAI models used in Copilot may be contributing to these financial challenges. Nevertheless, GitHub Copilot continues to attract strong demand, with over 1 million paid users across more than 37,000 organisations worldwide. ⭐While GitHub Copilot faces competition from the likes of IBM's CodeNet, Replit, Google's Codey, Amazon's CodeWhisperer, and even Zoho's planned rival, it remains the preferred choice for individual developers due to its accuracy and the power of OpenAI's Codex. With the GitHub Universe 2023 just around the corner, we can expect updates to the software and hopefully some insights into potential pricing adjustments. Despite the rising competition, GitHub Copilot has already solidified its position as an indispensable tool for developers, and its future prospects look promising! 🌟💼 #GitHubCopilot #CodeGeneration #DeveloperTools

Faros.ai conducted an unbiased experiment to evaluate whether GitHub Copilot improves developer productivity by splitting their team into two random cohorts, one with access to Copilot and one without. Over three months, they closely monitored metrics like speed, throughput, and quality. Here is a quick breakdown of what they learnt: - The GitHub Copilot cohort gradually began to outpace the other cohort in terms of the sheer number of PRs. - Lead time also decreased by 55% for the Copilot cohort. - Code quality was maintained or improved, with code coverage improving, code smells increased slightly and failure rates holding steady. "Now, the juicy bit – is the performance boost worth the cost? For us, the answer's leaning towards a solid "yes." A 55% improvement in lead time with no collateral damage to code quality is a phenomenal ROI." I highly recommend checking out the full article linked below! 👇 #githubcopilot #ai
