GitHub Copilot - Nightly

Nightly build of the GitHub Copilot for Eclipse. You can install it to use the latest patches, while it can be unstable. For stable release, please check our stable release channel.

GitHub Copilot is your AI-powered coding assistant, offering assistance throughout your software development journey. Leveraging large language models, it offers suggestions via code completions and chat, as detailed below: 

• Code completions: You can receive auto-complete type suggestions from GitHub Copilot either by starting to write the code you want to use, or by writing a natural language comment describing what you want the code to do.
• Chat: You can engage in a conversation about your codebase using GitHub Copilot Chat within your IDE. Whether you're troubleshooting a bug or crafting a new feature, GitHub Copilot is here to assist when you encounter challenges – simply ask for guidance.
• Agent Mode: Experience a more autonomous coding companion that can understand your project context and take proactive actions. In agent mode, GitHub Copilot can automatically detect and fix errors, suggest and execute relevant terminal commands, and help you navigate complex codebases. This advanced mode enables self-iterative development, where Copilot learns from feedback to provide increasingly accurate assistance.
• Model Context Protocol (MCP): A powerful extension for Copilot’s Agent mode on Eclipse that connects GitHub Copilot to external tools and services. With MCP, you can enhance Copilot's capabilities through specialized development tools and services, all accessible directly within your Eclipse environment.
