Day 1 of GitHub Universe is complete! Here\u2019s a quick recap of what was announced during the keynote. If you missed the keynote, or want to catch up on any of the on-demand sessions, you can watch them on the GitHub Universe website<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

GitHub Copilot<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

GitHub Copilot is an AI pair programmer that uses OpenAI Codex to suggest code and entire functions in real time, right from your editor. AI will soon be integrated into every aspect of the developer experience, so GitHub Copilot is becoming even more accessible. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

One such area is the addition of voice commands. \u201cHey, GitHub!\u201d enables voice-based interaction with GitHub Copilot, enabling the benefits of an AI pair programmer while reducing the need for a keyboard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Soon, businesses will be able to purchase and manage seat licenses for GitHub Copilot for their employees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

GitHub Codespaces<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Getting stuck into a new codebase or a new tool can be daunting, from downloading the correct dependencies to setting up your environment. GitHub Codespaces makes this easier with its new search and navigation functionality, which lets you easily find what you need for your projects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Individual developers will get up to 60 hours of GitHub Codespaces for free every month, and you can get building in a matter of seconds. The powerful code search and code view features enable you to rapidly search, navigate, and understand code, right from GitHub.com.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

GitHub Projects<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

With GitHub Projects being developer-first and truly flexible, it not only adapts to your current planning processes, but it encourages you and empowers you to evolve and iterate as you go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There have been over 100 new features and updates since the launch of the new GitHub Projects last year. There are many more to come, including the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Roadmap feature provides you with next level visualisation of your projects. Alongside tables and boards, you can create a roadmap view to visualise your work items across a timespan, plan and track a body of work over time, or watch the progress towards a deadline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tasklists can turn issues into tasks, converts tasks to issues, visualises your relationships in GitHub Projects, and more. This is all presented in a polished, new UI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Projects on GitHub Mobile bring the power of GitHub to the palm of your hand, enabling you to contribute and collaborate from anywhere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
