Copilot transforms GitHub into the AI-powered developer platform
GitHub has announced the general availability of GitHub Copilot Chat and previews of the new GitHub Copilot Enterprise offering , new AI-powered security features and the GitHub Copilot Partner Program .
Thomas Dohmke , CEO , GitHub , said : “ In March , we shared our vision of a new future of software development with Copilot X , where AI infuses every step of the developer lifecycle .
Since then , we ’ ve been working to scale and mature the underlying technology – and in the process we created something even bigger . Our vision has manifested itself into a new reality for the world ’ s developers .
“ We are certain this foundational transformation of the GitHub platform and categorically new way of software development is necessary in a world dependent on software .”
Coming next is GitHub Copilot Workspace , an AI-powered bridge to help developers scale the barrier of putting an idea into code .
Copilot Workspace enables users to build , run and test the code . If it encounters an error , it offers to fix it automatically .
Copilot Workspace is compared to a pair programming session with a partner that knows about every inch of the project and can follow a user ’ s lead to make repositorywide changes from the issue to the pull request with the power of AI .
Copilot Workspace offers an early glimpse of the GitHub Next vision to investigate the future of software development .
“ When Copilot Workspace is delivered in 2024 , we will be a consequential leap closer to an age where developers can use AI as a second brain to stream their creativity into creation in minutes – all with natural language ,” said Dohmke .
