Pattern: Pin the files you need

yuhattor opened this issue · 0 comments

Description

The effectiveness of GitHub Copilot depends on the context provided to it. GitHub Copilot searches through open tabs by text similarity, sending snippets to the Large Language Model (LLM), which itself is a complete black box. Therefore, we must be mindful of the context we want to provide. In programming, files such as declaration files (d.ts), test files, and interface files contain a wealth of context information. By using Visual Studio Code's pinning feature, you can easily access these files when needed and provide information to GitHub Copilot more efficiently.
