Automate Repetitive Code with GitHub Copilot

Posted on Jul 04, 2025

We’re tackling repetitive code—because who has time for boilerplate? Whether it’s loops, API calls, or form handling, Copilot can spot patterns and automate the grunt work for you. Let’s make your workflow faster and smarter. Let’s break it down!

ProTip
Let Copilot Handle the Repetitive Stuff

Tired of writing the same boilerplate code over and over? GitHub Copilot can detect patterns and generate repetitive code for you, saving time and reducing errors. Here’s how:

1️⃣ Start typing the first few lines of a repetitive function, loop, or pattern.
2️⃣ Pause and let Copilot predict the rest—it often completes the full block for you.
3️⃣ Use natural language comments like:
C# or JavaScript
// Generate a function to fetch user data and handle errors

Python
# Generate a function to query users by role and handle missing data

4️⃣ Press Tab or Ctrl + Enter (Windows/Linux) / Cmd + Enter (Mac) to apply or refine the suggestion.
Example: Instead of manually writing multiple API fetch calls, just type the first one and let Copilot generate the rest!
Why it’s awesome? Less typing, fewer mistakes, and faster development.

Quick Takeaway
The best code is the code you don’t have to write. Let GitHub Copilot handle the repetitive tasks so you can focus on the fun parts of coding!
