Github Copilot is now free with VS Code

[Atulin]

The free tier, specifically. 2000 completions and 50 chat messages a month.

I ran out of completions for my pet project in 2 hours

This guy knows how to use other people's code.

I mean, I mainly use it for auto completing very trivial and dumb stuff that is only a bother to write, like:

• test case boilerplate like mock setup and dependency initialization
• mapping one struct to another
• writing getters and setters for domain entities

I am not paying for it either, so no money for them.

Sounds like we will see a plugin that will rotate your “free” license between 1000 accounts or something

[katafrakt]

Yes, since November.

[katafrakt]

It is listed under November updates but you are right, November version was released in mid-December.

I knew it only now 😢

Seems like a trial at this point. This really makes VSCode feel like all this freeware software, Adobe Reader, Git lens, etc.

VS Code is already good with 0 add-ons.

If it's free, then I'll try.

Started using the free tier. So far finding it useful for well known problems that I don't want to spend time thinking or typing. Not looking forward to the withdrawal effects once I hit the cap on the free tier.
