Use Copilot in VS Code to Summarize PRs

Instead of manually sifting through every change, let GitHub Copilot Chat give you a high-level summary, making code reviews faster and easier. Let’s break it down!

Let Copilot generate quick, clear summaries for pull requests using Copilot Chat—so you can review smarter, not harder!

1️⃣ In Copilot Chat (Best for Quick Overviews)
• Open the pull request in VS Code.

• Copy & paste the generated summary into your PR description or review notes.

2️⃣ In an Inline Comment (Best for Specific Changes)
• When reviewing a PR, add an inline comment in GitHub or VS Code.
• Type:
# What does this change do?
• Copilot will summarize that specific section of code.
• Copy & paste the response into your review comment if needed.

3️⃣ In the PR Description (Best for Full Summaries)
• When opening a new PR, type:
# Summarize the changes in this pull request
• Trigger Copilot Chat to generate a high-level overview.
• Copy & paste the summary into the PR description before submitting.

4️⃣ In the File Editor (Best for Understanding Large Code Changes)
• Open a modified file in VS Code.

# Summarize the changes in this file
