When working on an open source project, it's easy to lose track of the issues and pull requests that you are working on. I've been guilty of this myself and have had to go back to GitHub to find the issue or PR that I was working on. If you don't track it yourself, you can easily forget about it and that issue or PR will stay open for months on end.

Fortunately, GitLens 13.3 has a new feature called Focus View that makes it easy to track the issues and PRs that you are working on. It's a great way to keep track of what you are working on and to make sure that you don't forget about it.

Here's how it works:

Copilot is a service from GitHub that uses machine learning to help you write code. It was made generally available to the public on 21 June 2022.

As a person working in AI, I was very skeptical about this feature, and did not bother trying it for a long time. I expected it would generate code that is so buggy that it would be more productive to write the code by hand.

Until one day, a colleague whom I had a lot of respect for was singing praises about how Copilot helped him write a complex piece of code, and I decided to give it a try.
