Pass the Microsoft GitHub Administrator GH-300 Questions and answers with CertsForce

Exact extracts:

“Copilot Chat can generate documentation based on your code.”

“Content exclusions are available only with GitHub Copilot Business and Enterprise. Copilot Individual users cannot configure exclusions.”

This confirms that the only way for the team to achieve exclusions is by upgrading to Copilot Business.

You can use GitHub Copilot for inline refactoring suggestions by adding comments to your code to trigger suggestions and by highlighting the code and selecting "Refactor using GitHub Copilot" from the context menu.

Exact extracts:

“Transparency. AI systems should be understandable.”

The /tests slash command in GitHub Copilot Chat creates unit tests for the selected code, helping developers ensure the functionality and reliability of their code.

GitHub Copilot is an AI-powered code completion tool that integrates directly into supported Integrated Development Environments (IDEs) and code editors, such as Visual Studio Code, JetBrains IDEs, NeoVim, and others. Developers interact with it through their coding environment, where it provides real-time code suggestions, autocompletions, and (in some cases) chat-like capabilities via extensions or plugins (e.g., GitHub Copilot Chat in supported editors).

Evaluation of Options:

A. By using a properly configured GitHub CLIThe GitHub CLI (Command Line Interface) is a tool for interacting with GitHub repositories and workflows from the terminal, but it is not a method for interacting with GitHub Copilot. Copilot operates within code editors/IDEs, not through the CLI.Incorrect.

B. By using chat capabilities in NeoVimThis is partially correct. GitHub Copilot can be used in NeoVim with the appropriate plugin (e.g., the Copilot.vim plugin), and GitHub Copilot Chat—a feature that allows conversational interaction—may also be available depending on the setup and version. However, "chat capabilities in NeoVim" alone is not the primary or standard way to describe Copilot interaction, as it’s more about code suggestions than chat. This is the closest option but not perfectly precise.Partially correct.

C. From a watch window in an IDE debug sessionThe "watch window" in an IDE is used during debugging to monitor variable values, not to interact with GitHub Copilot. Copilot provides suggestions while coding, not specifically in debug sessions or watch windows.Incorrect.

D. From a web browser athttps://github.copilot.comThere is no such URL as "https://github.copilot.com " dedicated to interacting with GitHub Copilot. Copilot is accessed via GitHub’s authentication and integrated into editors/IDEs, not through a standalone web browser interface. Information about Copilot is available on GitHub’s official site (e.g.,https://github.com/features/copilot), but interaction happens in the coding environment.Incorrect.

“/tests: Generate unit tests for the selected code or function.”

This is the official description of the /tests slash command, confirming it is the command used to create unit tests.

“GitHub Copilot has a duplication detection filter that checks suggestions of about 150 characters or longer against public code on GitHub. If a match is found, the suggestion is blocked if you have configured blocking.”

This clearly defines the purpose as preventing Copilot from suggesting verbatim code found publicly.

GitHub Copilot often suggests basic unit tests and may not cover all edge cases or complex integration scenarios, requiring developers to supplement its suggestions.

The GitHub Copilot usage metrics API provides insights into the acceptance rate of code suggestions and Copilot Chat specific suggestions acceptance metrics, helping organizations evaluate its effectiveness.
