GitHub Copilot

GitHub Copilot is GitHub's AI coding assistant. It suggests code as you type in editors such as VS Code and JetBrains IDEs, answers questions in a chat panel, and can take on a task as an agent that edits files across a repository and opens a pull request for review.

For platform teams it is useful on the files that fill infrastructure repositories: Terraform modules, Kubernetes manifests, Helm values, GitHub Actions workflows and the shell scripts that glue them together. It can explain an unfamiliar module, draft a new resource from a description, or suggest a fix for a failing workflow. Treat its output like any other change: run plan, read the diff and let review and policy checks catch mistakes before anything reaches production.
