Where GitHub Copilot fits
Use it to explore implementation approaches while keeping review within your normal coding workflow.
Check before you choose
Check organization policies and inspect generated code for correctness before committing it.
Find the right edition
Start with the destination for your device or the publisher's website. Use the current requirements and terms there to confirm the edition you need.
Compare the workflow
Start by deciding whether your task needs a hosted service or a model running on your own hardware. A chat assistant, a code editor and a local runtime solve different problems even when they use similar models.
