Smart Inline Completions: Use Cases, Examples, and Exercises
Introduction
Through the following sections, we will explore the inline completion capabilities of GitHub Copilot. Understanding how to leverage this feature effectively will greatly optimize your coding productivity. This is the entry point, but it's as important as the other features of Copilot.

If you are not familiar with Python, don't worry; the focus is on how to use GitHub Copilot rather than mastering Python itself. After all, this is an occasion to learn both! If you're a Python developer, you'll find the examples straightforward and easy to follow.
To enhance compatibility with Python, I recommend installing the following extensions in VS Code:
