You can now use Github Copilot for free. Github just announced a free version of Copilot.
There are some limitations, of course. You'll be able to use up to 2,000 code completions per month, which should be pretty enough for you to decide on whether or not to "make the jump" and get the paid version.
Github Copilot free version is a great chance to test its capabilities! With 2,000 code completions/month, it's perfect for exploring before committing to a paid plan.
because i am using Vim, instead of Cursor, Windsurf, Copilot still helps me a lot on code auto complete
