The original AI-powered code completion tool stemming from early OpenAI technology, GitHub Copilot, now comes in a free tier for the Visual Studio IDE and Visual Studio Code, along with other editors.

GitHub has unveiled a new free plan for GitHub Copilot in VS Code, which is available immediately and only requires a GitHub account , according to the announcement post.

It is currently in open beta and available for all GitHub Copilot individual users across Visual Studio and VS Code.

GitHub has launched a preview of GitHub Copilot, an AI-based coding assistant for Visual Studio Code that suggests lines of code or functions as you type.

If GitHub Copilot is not working or is not responding in Visual Studio or VS Code, it's most likely facing an authentication, network, or compatibility issue.
