GloboticketWeb - A Demo Application

This project is a demonstration application created for the Refactor and Optimize Code with GitHub Copilot Pluralsight course by Mark Heath. It is not designed as a "best practices" example, but simply to contain some demo code that can be used as a starting point for using Copilot to perform refactoring.

Note that Git tags have been used for some of the checkpoints before and after various demos in the course, so use those to get to a specific point in time..

Prerequisites

Before you begin, ensure you have the following installed:

.NET SDK 9.0
Visual Studio or Visual Studio Code with C# extension

GitHub Copilot Extension

Also, in order to try out refactoring ideas, make sure you have the GitHub Copilot extension installed. You can download it from GitHub Copilot.
