This repository provides a series of guided coding challenges, "Copilot Adventures," designed to teach users how to leverage GitHub Copilot's various modes (Agent, Edit, Ask) for software development. It targets developers looking to learn new languages or improve their AI-assisted coding skills through practical, narrative-driven exercises.

How It Works

The project offers a structured learning path through themed adventures, each presenting a problem to solve using GitHub Copilot. Users can either use free GitHub Codespaces or clone the repository to run locally. The adventures are categorized by difficulty and Copilot interaction mode, encouraging users to experiment with autonomous AI (Agent Mode), multi-file editing (Edit Mode), and conversational guidance (Ask Mode).

Quick Start & Requirements

• Setup: Clone the repository (git clone https://github.com/microsoft/copilotadventures) or launch a GitHub Codespace.
• Prerequisites: Basic programming knowledge and familiarity with VS Code are recommended.
• Resources: GitHub Codespaces offers 60 free hours per month.

Highlighted Details

• Features distinct "Adventures" across Beginner, Intermediate, and Advanced levels.
• Explains and provides examples for GitHub Copilot's Agent, Edit, and Ask modes.
• Encourages learning new programming languages with Copilot's assistance.
• Allows users to submit their solutions and even contribute new adventures.

Maintenance & Community

This is a Microsoft-maintained project. Users can submit feedback and new adventures via GitHub Issues and Pull Requests.

Licensing & Compatibility

The repository is licensed under the MIT License, permitting commercial use and integration with closed-source projects.

Limitations & Caveats

The primary dependency is access to and familiarity with GitHub Copilot. While local execution is supported, the intended workflow heavily emphasizes the GitHub Codespaces environment.
