Refactoring Duplicate Code with GitHub Copilot Agent

Maintaining a clean codebase becomes challenging as projects grow, often leading to scattered, duplicate logic that is hard to maintain. This course teaches you how to leverage GitHub Copilot Agent to systematically find and consolidate redundant code. Through clear written explanations and practical code examples, you will transition from manual refactoring to an efficient, AI-guided workflow. You will learn to write precise prompts that guide the AI to restructure your code safely without breaking existing functionality. What you'll learn: - Identify duplicate code blocks and redundant logic patterns across your codebase - Formulate effective prompts for GitHub Copilot Agent to suggest clean refactoring solutions - Apply modern clean code principles to consolidate functions and improve maintainability - Understand how to verify refactored code using basic testing practices and dry runs - Manage edge cases and maintain code readability during AI-assisted refactoring The course begins with the core concepts of code duplication and refactoring theory before moving into step-by-step written guides on interacting with the AI agent. You will practice analyzing code snippets and refining AI suggestions to ensure high-quality output. This course is designed for beginner-to-intermediate developers who want to improve their code quality using modern AI tools, and no prior experience with AI coding assistants is required.
