GitHub Copilot is an editor extension that suggests code in real time. It's free to use for verified students and maintainers of popular open source software. Starting today, it’s now available to all developers, and we’ll offer it to companies later this year.

Speaking of this:
<blockquote>
I said this last year when Copilot was announced.
I think it’s gross that a multi-billion dollar company took all the source code we gave them for free, analyzed it, built a tool, and charges $100 a year for it.
Anyone who made a commit to GitHub should get this for free.

The day programming became pay to win

It is a pity that there is no downvote button.

i get that it sucks for everyone who contributed but damn if i’m not glad they released it for free for the next 60 days. pretty shocking at how many things it’s already completing for me

I work with GitHub co-pilot its amazing and I think 100$ yearly is nothing with the time you will save if work with it
