Ask Copilot for a repository overview
GitHub Copilot can now provide high-level overviews of repositories you're exploring for the first time, helping you understand unfamiliar codebases more quickly.
You can now ask GitHub Copilot for a high-level overview of any repository you’re exploring for the first time. When you visit the home page of a repository you haven’t contributed to before on github.com, Copilot offers to generate an overview for you.
Select Give me a high-level overview, and Copilot Chat gathers context from the repository and returns a summary of the repository’s purpose, the technologies it uses, and its contribution guidelines.
If a repository doesn’t already have a README, Copilot can generate one for you so you can get up to speed on what the repository does and which technologies it uses.
You can access this anytime by selecting the Copilot icon in the github.com navigation bar or by asking Copilot Chat to generate a repository overview.
This feature is available to all GitHub Copilot plans.
The post Ask Copilot for a repository overview appeared first on The GitHub Blog.
