Improving code quality with GitHub Copilot!

Did you know that you can use GitHub Copilot to generate suggestions that help you improve your code? This includes asking Copilot how you can improve the quality, reliability, performance and security of your code!

In this video, I show you how you can use Chat Participants, Chat Variables and Slash Commands to refine your prompts that clearly state your intent when asking GitHub Copilot for suggestions on how to improve your code. I also show you how you can ask GitHub Copilot for suggestions to improve your code, how GitHub Copilot responds to our questions, and how we can use the response from GitHub Copilot to improve the quality of our code.
