A collection of practical recipes and examples for working with GitHub Copilot tools and features. Each recipe provides focused, copy-paste-ready code snippets and real-world examples to help you accomplish common tasks.
The cookbook is organized by tool or product, with recipes collected by language where applicable:
Ready-to-use recipes for building with the Microsoft Copilot SDK across multiple languages. The SDK is transitioning from its GitHub name in phases; no immediate package or API changes are required. The recipes retain currently published package names and imports.
- Copilot SDK Cookbook - Recipes for .NET, Go, Java, Node.js, and Python
- Error handling, session management, file operations, and more
- Runnable examples for each language
- Best practices and complete implementation guides
- Browse the tool or product folder that matches what you want to build
- Find the recipe that solves your use case
- Copy the code snippet or check the
recipe/subfolder for complete, runnable examples - Refer to the language-specific documentation for setup and execution instructions
The cookbook is designed to grow alongside the GitHub Copilot ecosystem. Future additions may include recipes for:
- Additional Copilot tools and integrations
- Advanced patterns and workflows
- Integration with external services and APIs
- Language-specific optimizations and best practices
