GitHub launched the first beta version of a new feature for searching and fixing bugs and other vulnerabilities in the code that combines the features of the Copilot assistant and CodeQL semantic analysis engine.
The tool is capable of fixing approximately a third part of the issues it can find. It also covers over 90% notifications in languages used, now JavaScript, Typescript, and Python. The feature is included in GitHub Advanced Security.
The tool is based on GPT-4, which will generate fixes and create explanations for them. The developers warn that the model may occasionally generate wrong suggestions due to misunderstanding the code in some cases.
