Maximizing GitHub Copilot for Drupal Development

To maximize the potential of GitHub Copilot as a coding assistant for Drupal development, it's essential to understand its capabilities and limitations. Third and Grove recently shared a quick guide to help users leverage Copilot effectively. The guide suggests providing explicit instructions on a line-by-line basis for routine tasks to enhance efficiency while also emphasizing the importance of proofreading all generated code due to potential inaccuracies. 

While Copilot can be a valuable tool, users should not expect it to perform magic or seamlessly handle all scenarios, particularly within Twig files or CMS-specific logic. Instead, it's crucial to maintain a critical eye and rely on developer expertise to ensure code accuracy and functionality.
