STOP BLAMING COPILOT FOR YOUR 400-FILE REPO.
Spend 10 minutes with this instead.
It's a guide to making Copilot actually understand a large codebase. The prompts, the instruction file, the exact workflow.
Copilot isn't dumb. It's guessing. Everything it can't see becomes a guess:
โ where your API calls belong
โ which client you already built
โ which legacy files nobody should touch
Fix the context and the same model starts behaving like a teammate.
Bookmark it before it gets lost in your feed.
The full guide is in the article below.
Here is the truth about Copilot that nobody talks about.
The developers getting insane results from it are not smarter than you. They don't have a better model. They're using the exact same Copilot you are.
The difference is what it can see.
One types "fix the authentication system" and prays. The other gives it the problem, the relevant files, and the boundaries.
Same model. Completely different results.
I wrote the full system for making Copilot understand a large codebase. Bookmark it before you forget.
I've been exploring GitHub Copilot beyond the basics, especially how it handles large codebases.
I wrote an article on why it sometimes struggles with bigger projects and practical ways to give it better context and get more reliable results. ๐ https://t.co/u7zFQPXA68
Liverpool are set to miss Cody Gakpo against Man City, and the timing couldnโt be worse!
Can Liverpool cope without Gakpo at Anfield, or will his absence give City a BIG advantage?
