Github Copilot Revolutionises VSCODE with AI! (FREE) Beats Cursor & Windsurf?

Key Takeaways

now we have GitHub co-pilot and vs code completely for free having access to 2,000 code completions 50 chat messages per month using powerful models such as anthropic claw 3.5 open AI GPT 40 model also there's a huge update in GitHub co-pilot in vs code which competes with cursor and wiu I'm going to show you how you can run code create code just with your natural language and able to debug code and Implement those ch changes let's get [Music] started and here is GitHub co-pilot so here are the commands to directly open the co- pallot so I used command shift I to open and close it also it has two different options one is chat another one co-pilot edits chat is generally for normal chatting and edit with co-pilot automatically create files edit those files fix any errors without us making any changes that is super cool so this is like Vin surf or cursor inside vs code so let's try that so first we are going to try the co-pilot with edit so I'm going to give a task create a note taking app with Rich Text Editor make sure it saves notes separately and looks nice I'm going to add front end and back end in flask with SQL light here I'm going to choose clo 3.5 Sonet and click sent now it start working now first it's creating the app.py file you can also see that in the editor now it's generating the code and now you can see the changes directly on the screen that is really nice next is creating other files such as base index new note on the right hand side you can see all those changes I'm really impressed with this change now after this you can even approve these files individually if required as you can see here and clicking done now here all the code required so I'm just saving I need to press r s to save it for some reason now I'm opening my terminal here just pip install flask to install the flask application then Python app.py and then click enter now the flask application is running in this URL going to open that and here is the not taking app I can see an upgrade mentioned here which I can fix it so for now I'm going to click close so let's try creating a note I'm going to say m in present notes prepare for presentation prepare for meeting and clicking save notes and you can see it got saved here so if I open you can see the notes got saved here going back home now let's try fixing this issue so let's see the latest version for this so I can see the CK editor the latest version is 4250 so just copying this message and I'm mentioning that here upgrade to the latest version and adding the information also you have option to add files clicking on add files and here you can see I can add app app.py after that clicking send now it's modifying base. HTML because I mentioned the wrong file app.py instead is trying to make the main changes in the base. HTML that is the required field and then clicking accept to accept all those changes and coming and saving here now let's try running this and going to open this URL again so here's a note taking up testing a note and clicking save and now it's got saved that is really nice so the next option I want to show you is the chat so here you got chat I'm clicking on that so the options available here slash fix to fix the problem slash test to add test slash explain to explain so I can just say slash and you got all these options explain the code and it's explaining me the code so here in your terminal you can just press command I and you can ask anything to do for example list all the files in this folder without time and date click enter now it's giving me the command clicking run and it's giving me this result that is really nice so totally we saw three different things one is the co-pilot edit then co-pilot chat and finally co-pilot in your terminal so how this differs from wi serve or cursor I could see few changes such as I need to click contrl s to save maybe that will change in the near future and adding terminal command execution in this is also available which I tried previously and this is really in the competition with wind Surf and cursor AI also considering this is going to be free up to a limit definitely this is a go-to for any developers who want to get started and I'm really excited about this considering you already like this GitHub co-pilot which is completely free I also created another video which clearly explains about cursor AI which I'll put the link in here and I highly recommend for you to watch and I will see you there
