Event Description

Learning to use AI throughout your development flow is now an essential skill. GitHub Copilot is a fully-agentic AI pair programmer that can help you write, debug, & understand code. Today we’re learning by doing. We'll fork a README for your personal GitHub profile. We'll then use the GitHub and MLH MCP servers to pull live, personalized data. GitHub Copilot will use the template and data to create a customized profile just for you.
