Transform natural language ideas into reviewable pull requests using GitHub Copilot CLI for rapid prototyping and VS Code for refinement.
Workflow Steps
GitHub Copilot CLI
Generate initial code from natural language
Use `gh copilot suggest` or `gh copilot explain` to convert your feature idea into shell commands and initial code structure. Describe what you want to build in plain English and let Copilot CLI generate the necessary commands and boilerplate.
VS Code with GitHub Copilot
Refine and complete the implementation
Open the generated files in VS Code and use GitHub Copilot's inline suggestions to flesh out the implementation. Add proper error handling, tests, and documentation using Copilot's context-aware suggestions.
GitHub CLI
Create pull request with generated description
Use `gh pr create` to create a pull request. Leverage GitHub Copilot CLI to generate a comprehensive PR description that explains the changes, includes testing notes, and highlights key implementation decisions.
GitHub
Review and collaborate on changes
Use GitHub's review interface to get feedback from team members. The well-structured PR with clear descriptions makes it easier for reviewers to understand and provide meaningful feedback.
