Learn how I use GitHub Copilot Chat to my benefit and see the end to end flow on creating a script to call into the GitHub API.

In this video I show how I use the chat feature to let Copilot write an entire script for me in the form of calling an API (in a loop on a certain input file), summarize the results based on the response, and calculate both an average inside the loop (per item) as well as an overall average.
