Copilot Primer

Inspiration

I have got some experience with using AI to troubleshoot my problems with code. So I wanted to get a "formal" introduction to it

What it does

The repository contains files that were used during the task

How we built it

The files were built using Copilot according to the instructions

Challenges we ran into

After I finished all 4 steps, I tried to complete the activity but got 5 out of 6 marks. I discovered on a forum that it is a known "bug" (?) and an additional print statement should be added: https://github.com/orgs/community/discussions/72896 When I followed those instructions, I got a bit of a trouble with pushing my commits due to the error: ""branches have diverged". I merged the branches and was able to push my commits

Accomplishments that we're proud of

I am totally new to git, but I was able to figure out some small issues popping up in the process

What we learned

I learned to use Copilot and Codespaces

What's next for Copilot Primer

I am planning to use Copilot for two things: 1) complete one challenge using a language I know; 2) build a simple CLI-application using a language I do not know

Built With

• copilot
• javascript
