I would’ve even offered up my left kidney, fighting for the fact that VS Code was superior (just like M1 Pro Macs are) to any other IDE on the market. And sure, before I tried out the JetBrains ecosystem, I would’ve completely agreed. You’d think that after five years of coding in one IDE, I would be out of my mind to leave the VS Code. I find myself turning it off for presentations now because it's the only thing viewers want to talk about and it takes away from the demo.Call me crazy if you have to. It really does a great job of predicting what you need to write next and I use it for Java, Spring, JavaScript and even Markdown. I have been using Github Copilot with IntelliJ Ultimate Edition for a while now and I'm very happy with the results. Since the video was made I have been using it a little bit more and I can say that it's not replacing me, it's actually assisting me in writing code faster. If you want to grab the final code you can head over to the repository below.Īs I said throughout the video I am not sure how this is going to work into my day-to-day workflow. In the remainder of the video tutorial, I walk through different ways GitHub Copilot was able to make suggestions for lines of code and even entire methods. Next, open up IntelliJ and go to Preferences > Plugins, search for Github Copilot and install the plugin.Īt this point, you're ready to use GitHub Copilot. The first thing you need to do is to visit and sign up for the technical preview. I am using IntelliJ Ultimate Edition but this should work fine in the community edition.
In this tutorial, I am focused on Github Copilot for Java Developers.
This means that if you're running any flavor of the JetBrains IDE like IntelliJ, GoLand, or Webstorm you can use Github Copilot. At Github Universe 2021 they announced support for NeoVim and Jetbrains.
When it was released back in June of 2021 they only had support for Visual Studio Code. I'm not sure if it supported Java when it was first launched but at the time of writing this, the technical preview supports Python, JavaScript, TypeScript, Ruby, Java & Go. With GitHub Copilot, get suggestions for whole lines or entire functions right inside your editor. 💡 The video tutorial for this blog post can be found above or you can click here to watch it on YouTube.Įarlier this year GitHub launched Copilot, an AI pair-programmer.
