Session

From Not Technical Enough to Building with Confidence GitHub Copilot as a Pair Programmer

Many people do not start coding because they believe they must know everything first. This level 100 session shows a simple and safe way to start building with GitHub Copilot as a pair programmer. It is designed for beginners, first time contributors, and people who can read code but rarely write it. The focus is not on jargon or deep dives. The focus is on a clear workflow that helps move from an idea to a small piece of working code with confidence.

In a live demo, the session turns one well written issue into a reviewable pull request. It starts with a small scope and clear acceptance criteria. Copilot is then used to propose a plan and suggest code step by step. The workflow stays safe through small commits, basic tests, CI checks, and a short review checklist, so code is not merged blindly.

Attendees will leave with a beginner friendly starter kit that can be used the next day. It includes an issue template, a simple prompt pattern for planning and coding, and a pull request review checklist for quality and control.

No previous Copilot experience required. Basic GitHub knowledge is helpful but not required.
