GitHub's Copilot Chat now available for individual users

GitHub is expanding access to Copilot Chat, its programming-centric chatbot, by making it available to all current GitHub Copilot for Individual subscribers in Visual Studio and VS Code. Copilot Chat allows developers to have multiturn conversations about coding and ask questions about the code they are currently working on. It provides real-time guidance, best practices, tips, and solutions tailored to the code, without having to switch away from the IDE. GitHub aims to enable natural language as a new universal programming language, reducing boilerplate work and democratizing software development.
