Uh hello guys, welcome to this video. So
0:02
in this video, I'll show you how to
0:04
enable or disable agent mode in GitHub
0:07
copilot and VS code. So agent mode is
0:10
commonly known known as GitHub copilot
0:15
uh mode where you can actually interact
0:17
with the AI to actually generate code.
0:21
So it comes with all the versions of uh
0:24
Visual Studio with the latest version.
0:26
So you will see this icon appearing
0:28
right here at the bottom right corner of
0:30
the screen. So if you click this icon
0:33
you can open this chat window where you
0:36
can actually
0:39
just ask any kind of uh programming
0:42
related questions. So it will generate
0:44
the code for you. So,
0:47
so if I just say here,
0:56
so as soon as you write this, you will
0:58
see it will generate the code for you
1:00
and uh
1:04
so in this easy way you can use the
1:06
agent mode, GitHub copilot mode to
1:10
assist you while you are actually coding
1:12
here. So side by side you will get the
1:14
response inside the chat window and uh
1:18
so now to very first started here you
1:21

1:56
on manage copilot
1:58
And this will redirect you to the actual

log screen. So here you need to login
2:02
with your GitHub account. So I've
2:04
already done that. So just make sure
2:07
that you enable this. So if you have
2:10
disabled just change it to enabled and
2:13
in this easy way you can integrate the
2:16
GitHub copilot VS code and uh start
2:19
using the agent mode.
2:22
So it's very easy. So it comes within
2:25

2:27
sort of third party extension. So it is
2:29
built in that's why it's called as agent
2:32
mode. So in this easy way you can use
2:35
