Visual Studio Code Previews AI-Powered Code Editing with Copilot Edits

28/11/2024

Microsoft’s Visual Studio Code has just unveiled a game-changing feature — Copilot Edits. Powered by GitHub Copilot, this AI-driven capability allows developers to automatically suggest code changes across multiple files in a workspace, all based on user input. With the launch of Visual Studio Code 1.95, these enhancements promise to revolutionize code iteration and editing workflows.

Key Features of Visual Studio Code 1.95:

✅ Copilot Edits: AI-powered code suggestions across multiple files, directly in the editor, based on user prompts, enabling seamless and rapid iteration.
✅ Multiple GitHub Accounts: Support for logging into multiple GitHub accounts simultaneously, enabling better project and workflow management.
✅ GitHub Copilot Chat: A new location in the sidebar for easy access to AI-assisted chat and code review, allowing constant interaction with the AI without interrupting workflow.
✅ AI-Powered Code Review: The ability to request AI-driven feedback on code as it’s written or after changes are made, optimizing review processes and accelerating development cycles.

Available now, Visual Studio Code 1.95 (released October 29, 2024) is already elevating developer productivity by integrating smarter AI features into the coding environment.

At GlenFlow, we see Copilot Edits as a major leap forward in AI-assisted development. The enhanced ability to suggest code changes across entire workspaces will significantly accelerate the development cycle, providing an invaluable tool for teams working on complex codebases. This fits perfectly with our mission at ScaleFlow AI to streamline and scale development operations. We’re excited to see how this feature, combined with our automation solutions, will enable developers to move faster, smarter, and more efficiently than ever before.
