About The Project

'Hey, GitHub!' is a voice assistant to interact with VS Code. It is primarily targeted toward developers that have difficulty using the keyboard and mouse.

With 'Hey, GitHub!' Developers can use their voice to harness the power of Copilot to write code collaboratively. In addition, 'Hey, GitHub!' also helps with interacting with the VS Code UI. 'Hey, GitHub!' can be used to perform a variety of tasks, such as opening files, running commands, and navigating the editor.

No more remembering a ton of keybindings or very specific and strange voice incantations. 'Hey, GitHub!' is here to help you with all of that. Simply say "Hey, GitHub!" to get started.
