## Step 4: Using comments to generate code with Copilot
|
|
|
|
_Nicely done utilizing the Copilot tab!_ :partying_face:
|
|
|
|
You now have leveraged the Copilot quick tab auto-suggest as well as the Copilot hub to accept AI generated suggestions.
|
|
|
|
Now lets see how you can leverage comments to generate Copilot suggestions!
|
|
|
|
### :keyboard: Activity: Pull the latest code to the Codespace repo.
|
|
|
|
> **Note**
|
|
> Pull MUST be done prior to the next activity.
|
|
|
|
1. Use the VS Code terminal to pull the latest code:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
git pull
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### :keyboard: Activity: Generate Copilot suggested code from comments.
|
|
|
|
1. From inside the codespace in the VS Code explorer window, create a new file. (If you closed the Codespace from above, please open it back up or create a new Codespace.)
|
|
2. Name the file `comments.js`.
|
|
3. Type the following comment into the file:
|
|
```
|
|
// Create web server
|
|
```
|
|
4. Press `enter` to go to a new line.
|
|
5. Copilot will suggest a code block.
|
|
6. Hover over the red squiggly and select the `...`
|
|
|
|
> **Note**
|
|
> If you don't see the copilot code block suggestion or the red squiggly and the three dots `...`, you can type `control + enter` to bring up the GitHub Copilot completions panel.
|
|
|
|
7. Click `Open Completions Panel`. Copilot will synthesise around 10 different code suggestions. You should see something like this:
|
|
|
|
8. Find a solution you like and click `Accept Solution`.
|
|
9. Your `comments.js` file will be updated with your solution.
|
|
|
|
### :keyboard: Activity: Push code to your repository from the codespace
|
|
|
|
1. Use the VS Code terminal to add the `comments.js` file to the repository:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
git add comments.js
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
2. Next from the VS Code terminal stage and commit the changes to the repository:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
git commit -m "Copilot third commit"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
3. Finally from the VS Code terminal push to code to the repository:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
git push
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**Wait about 60 seconds then refresh your repository landing page for the next step.**
