Copilot Importer

Why write code when you can import it directly from GitHub Copilot?

What is Copilot Importer?

The copilot python module will dynamically generate any function imported by leveraging the GitHub Copilot service.

How do I use Copilot Importer?

You can install copilot-importer via pip (e.g. pip install copilot-importer).

Additionally and importantly, you need a GitHub Copilot API token. If you have access to GitHub Copilot, you can find your token from (TODO: ADD TOKEN INSTRUCTIONS).

Once you have your token, set it to the environment variable GITHUB_COPILOT_TOKEN.

export GITHUB_COPILOT_TOKEN=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Finally, before the dynamic importing feature is enabled, you must run the copilot.install method.

# Enable copilot importer
from copilot import install
install()

After all of the above has been taken care of, you should be able to import anything you want directly from GitHub Copilot:

>>> from copilot import install
>>> install()

>>> from copilot import base64_encode
>>> base64_encode(b"test")
b'dGVzdA=='

>>> from copilot import base64_decode
>>> base64_decode(base64_encode(b"test"))
b'test'

>>> from copilot import quicksort
>>> quicksort([5,2,3,4])
[2, 3, 4, 5]

You can also output the code of imported functions like so:

>>> from copilot import say_hello
>>> print(say_hello._code)
def say_hello():
    print("Hello, World!")
