What is GitHub Copilot?

GitHub Copilot is a revolutionary tool that harnesses the power of artificial intelligence to assist in code completion tasks. It operates by providing suggestions for entire lines or even blocks of code as developers input their commands, thereby expediting the programming process and enhancing efficiency.

By offering these timely and accurate suggestions, GitHub Copilot reduces the chances of errors and omissions in the code, while also saving developers the time and effort of recalling and typing out lengthy code snippets. This sophisticated tool is poised to change the landscape of coding by making it more accessible and less time-consuming.

What is LocalPilot?

GitHub Copilot can be used locally on a Macbook with a few setup steps, including modifying VS Code settings, creating a virtual environment, and downloading models. The local version's performance varies with complexity, and while it can be as fast as the online version for simple tasks on certain hardware, it is generally less efficient.

It could potentially be packaged as a simple Mac app, and a meta-model routing system could improve its performance. It is particularly useful in situations with poor internet connectivity.
