As someone new to both Visual Studio Code and GitHub Copilot, I recently set out to explore what these tools could do—both as learning aids and as development companions. My goal was simple: test their capabilities while getting comfortable with their user interfaces and feature sets. At first, I ran into a few bumps trying to configure Copilot. It wasn’t entirely intuitive to get it running, but after some trial and error (and a bit of Googling), I had it integrated and ready to assist.
