10 GitHub Copilot Tips for Game Developers
These are my 10 tips for getting better results from using GitHub Copilot in Visual Studio Code when building games. I cover setup that most people skip (custom agents, skills, instructions files) and how to actually use Copilot day-to-day for planning, prompting, and workflow.
I use Unity examples, but the concepts work for Godot, Unreal, or any engine/project.
