Getting started with GitHub Copilot: From core features to smarter code reviews

GitHub Copilot has moved far beyond simple code completion. With multiple models, chat-based workflows, repository-wide understanding, and security-aware suggestions, it is now a core part of how modern engineering teams build and review software.

This 55-minute on-demand session walks through practical ways of how teams can use Copilot effectively across the development lifecycle — from writing code to reviewing pull requests.

You’ll get a clear overview of GitHub Copilot’s current capabilities, including how different models work, where Copilot fits across IDEs, GitHub.com, and the CLI, and how it supports refactoring, testing, debugging, and reasoning over large codebases. The session then focuses on real-world pull request and code review workflows, showing how Copilot helps teams summarise changes, explain unfamiliar code, surface issues, and improve review quality without slowing delivery.

By the end of the session, you’ll have:

  • A practical understanding of what GitHub Copilot can (and cannot) do today
  • Guidance on choosing and using models effectively and securely
  • Proven techniques for improving code quality and review throughput

This session is ideal for developers, tech leads, and engineering managers looking to get more value from GitHub Copilot in real production workflows.
