Goal

The goal of a GitHub Copilot Hackathon is to learn how to use it, using a set of exercises (labs) that consist of building a web server using Nodejs with different functionalities, a .NET Web API or a Java Rest API (either Spring Boot or Quarkus).

We have also set two exercises for data engineers and data scientists based on python.

For those who are already familiar with GitHub Copilot, we have also defined a series of challenges to test your skills. In this case, you will find an introduction and short guidance to help you solve the challenge, but you will have to do most of the work on your own (with the help of Copilot, of course).

GitHub Copilot is an AI-powered code assistant that helps developers write better code faster. It uses machine learning models trained on billions of lines of code to suggest whole lines or entire functions based on the context of what you’re working on. By using Copilot, you can learn how to write better code and improve your productivity.

Remember:

• As you type GitHub Copilot will make suggestions, you can accept them by pressing Tab.
• If nothing shows up after Copilot write some lines, press enter and wait a couple of seconds.
• Press Ctrl + Enter, to see more suggestions.
• Use Copilot chat to support your learning and development.
• Press Ctrl + i to start Copilot chat inline within your code.

Pre-requisites

GitHub Copilot access

If you still do not have an active Copilot license, a 30 day trial can be requested here: https://github.com/github-copilot/signup.

Work with GitHub Codespaces

Environment is already configured to work with Github Codespaces, you can find the configuration files in the .devcontainer folder.

To start programming just start a new codespace and you are ready to go, don't need to install anything.

copilothackathon's Issues

Codespace stuck in sign in loop for extension

When I open the code space with the latest update to dotnet 8 and python version, it asks me to sign in to activate plugin.

When I do it cycles between two variants of the popup. Pressing cancel does not help, the modal keeps coming back.

This is the web version of VS Code. haven't tried the desktop client.

NodeJS: Removing dependency on Copilot Labs and replace with Copilot Chat only

Removing dependency on Copilot Labs and replace with Copilot Chat only

Tasks

Beta Give feedback

1. removing copilot labs from dev container
2. review all readme and replace with copilot chat commands
3. Data Engineer : nothing to do
4. Data Scientist : nothing to do
5. Dot net : replace all Labs by proper chat & inline chat actions
6. Node : replace all Labs by proper chat & inline chat actions
7. quarkus : nothing to do
8. springboot: nothing todo

Is 'hackaton' an intended term?

Multiple occurences of 'hackaton' instead of 'hackathon' have been noticed in README.md, is that intended or a typo?

Making new instances of HttpClient is bad practice

CopilotHackathon/completesolution/dotnet/MinimalAPI/Program.cs

Line 53 in 0fe0c18

var client = new HttpClient();

Using var client = new HttpClient() is generally considered a bad practice for several reasons. Having that in the solution, might not look good.

I think this should either be changed to a more proper solution like using DI to get a HttpClient, or using DI to get a HttpClientFactory. How ever, I can also see this is a good learning opportunity to show case when Copilot might make mistakes and it is still really important for the developer to build their skills and make sure the code that Copilot produces is following best practices.

At the very least, I think it should be obvious that this is intended, even though it's not the recommended way of doing things.

Is Axios supposed to be used in Dotnet excercise?

In the dotnet readme.md two references are made to use Axios. Is this correct or a copy / paste error from the Node example?

CopilotHackathon/exercisefiles/dotnet/README.md

Line 85 in 0fe0c18

* Make a call to the joke api and return a random joke using axios

CopilotHackathon/exercisefiles/dotnet/README.md

Line 90 in 0fe0c18

* Make a call to the movie api and return a list of movies of that director using axios

Error when creating new codespace

When I create a codespace the container starts building, but after a while I see a lot of these errors:

#18 195.1 (*) Downloading GPG key...
#18 197.1 gpg: key 3A5CA953F73C700D: new key but contains no user ID - skipped
#18 197.4 gpg: key 04C367C218ADD4FF: new key but contains no user ID - skipped

#18 259.2 gpg: keyserver receive failed: Connection timed out
#18 259.7 (*) Failed getting key, retring in 10s...

Then it finally continues, but gives this error:

Error code: 1302 (UnifiedContainersErrorFatalCreatingContainer)
Container creation failed.

Creating recovery container.

Finally it opens, but shows this modal:

Dependencies like node or dotnet are not installed correctly.
