About this Talk

Get hands-on in this talk where we'll create a GitHub Copilot Extension from scratch.

We'll use the Copilot Extensions SDK, https://github.com/copilot-extensions/preview-sdk.js, and Hono.js, covering best practices like payload validation and progress notifications and error handling.

We'll also go through how to set up a dev environment for debugging, including port forwarding to expose your extension during development as well as the Node.js debugger.

By the end, we'll have a working Copilot extension to demo.

Learn how to leverage the extensions SDK, best practices: payload validation, progress notifications, and error handling, practical debugging techniques
