Debug Your Scripts in VS Code with GitHub Copilot

Visual Studio Code shows how to use GitHub Copilot to help set up debugging for scripts in VS Code.

Overview

The video focuses on using GitHub Copilot to:

• Analyze an existing package.json
• Generate the appropriate launch.json debug configuration
• Launch and debug scripts using the built-in VS Code debugger

What this helps with

• Avoiding manual launch.json syntax lookups
• Quickly creating debug configurations that match the scripts defined in package.json
• Getting from “script won’t run / hard to debug” to an interactive debugging session faster inside VS Code
