The play

Enable GitHub Copilot
Install the GitHub Copilot extension in your preferred Integrated Development Environment (IDE), such as VS Code or JetBrains IDEs. Authenticate with your GitHub account when prompted to activate the service.
Start Typing Code
Begin writing code as you normally would. Copilot will automatically provide real-time suggestions for lines, functions, or entire blocks based on your current code context.
Accept Suggestions
When Copilot presents a suggestion (often shown as grayed-out text), press `Tab` to accept it. If multiple suggestions are available, use `Alt + [` or `Alt + ]` (or platform equivalents) to cycle through them.
Prompt with Natural Language
Write a comment in plain English describing the function or code you need. Copilot will attempt to generate the corresponding code block based on your natural language prompt.

Starter code

# Function to calculate the factorial of a number
def factorial(n):
    # Place your cursor here and let Copilot suggest the implementation.
    # Press Tab to accept the suggestion.
