Question

A developer joins a team and is assigned to fix a bug in a 400-line data-processing module written by a former employee. The code has no comments, uses unfamiliar domain abbreviations, and the developer needs to understand the overall flow before making changes. Which use of GitHub Copilot best reduces the context switching and time needed to comprehend the module before editing?

Accepted Answer

Select the entire module in the editor and use Copilot Chat's /explain to get a natural-language walkthrough of the code's structure and logic

Answer

Delete the module and ask Copilot to regenerate an equivalent implementation from scratch based on the file name

Answer

Accept the first inline completion Copilot offers at the top of the file to reveal the original author's intent

Answer

Disable Copilot for the file so its suggestions don't interfere with reading the unfamiliar code manually
