Building with GitHub Copilot

Code Review

Code review can be a tedious process, especially when you have to review a large codebase. Copilot can simplify this process by generating comments for the code you are reviewing. You can task Copilot to review a specific part of the code, suggest improvements, or point out potential issues. The problem can be related to performance, readability, maintainability, security, or any other aspect of the code.

Since we are prompting Copilot to generate output, there is no single correct way to do this. However, there are some best practices: be specific, provide clear instructions, consider the context, and ask for a specific type of feedback.

Let's consider the following Python code that launches a web server on port 8000:

import http.server
import socketserver

PORT = 8000

class SimpleHTTPRequestHandler(http.server.SimpleHTTPRequestHandler):
    def do_GET(self):
        # Logs the request's path to the console
        print(f"GET request for {self.path}")
        # Call the superclass method to actually serve the request
        super().do_GET()

# Set up the HTTP server
with socketserver.TCPServer(("", PORT), SimpleHTTPRequestHandler) as httpd:
    print("Serving at port", PORT)
    try:
        httpd.
