  1. 1GitHub Copilot

    AI-generated code autocompletions. Start typing and Copilot will generate code suggestions based on your input. Very often when you start typing the name of your function, it just autocompletes the entire function for you. It's hard to overstate how great this extension is. Does anyone even code without Copilot anymore?

Other features include visualizing file history, navigating through git history, rebase editor etc.
