GitHub Copilot Hands-on - lab setup

These instructions will guide you through configuring a GitHub Codespaces environment that you can use to run the course labs. If you prefer and if you know one of the other IDEs supported by Copilot, you can use that. But the instructions will reference the codespace version.

These steps must be completed prior to starting the actual labs.

1. Ensure that you are signed up for Copilot access.

If not, when signed into GitHub, click on your profile picture/icon in the upper right and either select Copilot

Signing up for Copilot

OR select Settings->Copilot and sign up.

Signing up for Copilot

You can also find help there for using Copilot in other supported IDEs, set the switch for whether or not to allow matching public code suggestions, etc.

Using Copilot options

2. Create your own fork of the repository for these labs

  • Ensure that you have created a repository by forking the skillrepos/copilot-hands-on project as a template into your own GitHub area.
  • You do this by navigating to the repo, clicking the Fork button in the upper right portion of the main project page and following the steps to create a copy in your-github-userid/copilot-dd .

3. Start your codespace

In your forked repository, start a new codespace.

  • Click the Code button on your repository's landing page.
  • Click the Codespaces tab.
  • Click Create codespace on main to create the codespace.

This will run for several minutes while it gets everything ready.

  • After the codespace has initialized there will be a terminal present.

Starting codespace

This will take a while to run.

4. Open the labs

After the codespace has started, open the labs document by going to the file tree on the left, find the file named labs.md, right-click on it, and open it with the Preview option.)

This will open it up in a tab above your terminal. Then you can follow along with the steps in the labs. Any command in the gray boxes is either code intended to be run in the console or code to be updated in a file.
