Course details
VS Code has evolved into a rich “AI workbench,” where GitHub Copilot can do far more than autocomplete. In this course, LinkedIn Learning Principal Instructor Morten Rand-Hendriksen guides you through the most useful (and often overlooked) Copilot integrations inside VS Code—how to shape Copilot behavior with agent instructions and custom instructions, how to use slash commands and promptable actions for common dev tasks, and how to extend Copilot with tools via Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers. You’ll also explore building and using custom agents and skills/scripts/templates to create repeatable, team-friendly workflows—so Copilot becomes a dependable collaborator, not just a chat box.
