Use this repo to follow along with examples and hands-on practice as you learn about GitHub Copilot customizations.\n\n## Getting Started 🏎️\n\nThe easiest way is to run this in a devcontainer or a GitHub Codespace. It takes a bit to startup, but once it does, you'll be all set.\n\nOf course you can still run everything locally, but you'll want to have node, next.js and postgresql all installed.\n\n## What You'll Learn 📚\n\nThis repository covers three key areas of GitHub Copilot customization:\n\n### 🎯 Custom Instructions\n\nLearn how to create personalized instructions that guide Copilot's behavior across your entire development workflow. Custom instructions let you:\n\n- Set coding style preferences and conventions\n- Define project-specific context and requirements\n- Establish consistent patterns for code generation\n- Customize how Copilot interacts with your specific programming languages and frameworks\n\n### 💬 Reusable Prompts\n\nDiscover how to create and manage a library of reusable prompts for common tasks that you may ask the AI to do. This includes:\n\n- Checking on any pull requests you may have open\n- Define prompts for code reviews\n- Define instructions for generating commit messaes\n\n### 🤖 Custom Chat Modes\n\nExplore how to build specialized chat experiences tailored to your specific workflow needs. You'll learn to:\n\n- Create a chat mode for planning, where the AI has read-only access to the codebase and can only generate implementation plans.\n- Define a research chat mode where the AI can reach out to external resources.\n- Create a DBA chat mode where the AI knows in-depth details about your database and DB-related concepts.\n\n## A bit of a pre-req 🛠️\n\n### Using the GitHub MCP Server\n\nTo fully utilize the examples in this repository, you'll need to connect to the **GitHub MCP (Model Context Protocol) Server**. This remote server provides enhanced context about GitHub repositories, issues, pull requests, and collaboration workflows.\n\nThe GitHub MCP Server runs as a remote service and provides rich context about:\n\n- Repository structure and codebase information\n- Issue tracking and project management data\n- Pull request workflows and collaboration patterns\n- GitHub-specific development practices and conventions\n\nFor detailed setup instructions and configuration options, visit the official [GitHub MCP Server repository](https://github.com/github/github-mcp-server).\n\n## Learn More 📖\n\nFor comprehensive information about GitHub Copilot customization features, check out the official [VS Code Copilot Customization Documentation](https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/copilot/copilot-customization). This resource provides in-depth guidance on:\n\n- Setting up custom instructions\n- Creating and managing reusable prompts\n- Configuring custom chat modes\n- Advanced customization techniques\n\n## Resources 🔗\n\n- 🌟 [Awesome GitHub Copilot Customizations](https://github.com/github/awesome-copilot)\n- 📝 [Blog Post](https://aka.ms/awesome-copilot/blog)\n- 📚 [VS Code Copilot Documentation](https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/copilot/copilot-customization)\n- 🔧 [GitHub MCP Server](https://github.com/github/github-mcp-server)\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fcodemillmatt%2Fawesome-copilot-example","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fcodemillmatt%2Fawesome-copilot-example","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fcodemillmatt%2Fawesome-copilot-example/lists"}
