Tool Hut
GitHub Copilot
AI pair programmer inside VS Code, JetBrains, and GitHub — autocomplete and chat.
Add GitHub Copilot to your hut →GitHub Copilot is the most widely deployed AI coding tool in the world, used by millions of developers across VS Code, JetBrains, Neovim, and GitHub.com itself. It excels at inline autocomplete — suggesting the next line or block as you type — and Copilot Chat handles questions, explanations, and refactoring within the editor. The GitHub PR integration can summarise, review, and suggest fixes on pull requests directly in the interface.
The free tier (added in 2024) covers 2,000 completions and 50 chat messages per month. Pro ($10/mo) is among the cheapest paid AI coding tools. Most often compared to Cursor and Windsurf for agentic editing — Copilot's strength is its breadth of IDE support and tight GitHub integration rather than autonomous multi-file changes.
