so excited to share with you all: a new addition to Copilot Labs...

✨ Code Brushes ✨

We wondered how we could make editing your code feel as tactile and easy as paint with a brush in Photoshop?

writeup: githubnext.com/projects/code-b

and a few examples 🧵

GitHub NextGitHub Next | Code BrushesGitHub Next Project: Can editing code feel more tactile, like painting with Photoshop brushes? We added a toolbox of brushes to our Visual Studio Code extension that can modify your code.

we added a toolbox full of "brushes" to VSCode - I'll talk about a few specific ones.

Sometimes, you run across some code and have to stop to scratch your head. What if you could make code "more readable" with a click?

often, the types I'm using are pretty straightforward - what if those could be auto-generated?

here's a fun one! sometimes I end up banging my head against a bug, to realize that it's as simple as a typo. Could we have a brush that detects those?

there are more examples in the write-up!

It's important to me that we focus on :undefined: empowering :undefined: developers instead of automating them, and this is one exploration that came out of that focus. I would love to hear what you think, or if you know of related tools or similar real-life interactions.
