With the aim of making it easier for developers to develop, GitHub partnered with OpenAI in June 2021 to launch the world's first large-scale generation AI development tool `` GitHub Copilot ” was announced.

`` GitHub Copilot '', a function that automatically complements the `` continuation '' of the source code on GitHub, has appeared, with the cooperation of OpenAI - GIGAZINE

In the two years since its launch, GitHub Copilot has been responsible for writing 46% of the code, and it has been reported that coding is up to 55% faster.

GitHub Copilot X is the result of

the GitHub Next development team's continuous effort to evolve GitHub Copilot from being just an editor to being an easily accessible AI assistant, allowing you to not only submit GitHub code suggestions, but bugs. can also be modified. Specifically, there are multiple individual functions such as 'Copilot Chat' and 'Copilot for pull requests'.

A demo video has been released on how to specifically fix bugs in ' GitHub Copilot Chat '.
