GitHub Copilot (GH-300) Course
Use AI to support software development
The GitHub Copilot (GH-300) course helps developers understand how generative AI can support coding and other software-development activities without removing the need for professional judgement.
Participants will explore how GitHub Copilot can assist with tasks such as generating code suggestions, explaining code, creating tests, working with different programming languages and interacting through the IDE, chat and command-line environments.
Get better and more responsible results from GitHub Copilot
Effective use of GitHub Copilot depends on understanding both its capabilities and its limitations. Participants will learn how prompt engineering can influence Copilot's responses and how developers can evaluate, refine and validate AI-generated suggestions.
The course also considers responsible AI, security, management and organisational use of GitHub Copilot, including GitHub Copilot Business and Enterprise.
It is suitable for developers and technical professionals who want to integrate AI assistance into their development workflow while maintaining appropriate oversight of the code and content being produced.
