Another useful slash command you can use here and another useful task github copilot can
help you with is the slash new command.
Because you can use that to create a new project or have github copilot help you create a new
project.
If you run the command like this, depending on when you are watching this video, you might
of course get different results, here for me it's telling me that it needs a bit more
information about, well, what I want to create.
So here I'll say a node.js project with the express library.
And you don't need to know node or express to follow along, it's just an example here.
So now with that it now understands what I want and it then gives me a suggested project
structure and even a button I can click to create a new project with that structure.
Now if I do click that, I have to choose a folder and it now creates that project under
that folder.
So now it's creating a new project and new files in a different workspace, in a different
project with github copilot chat.
And it then even asks me whether I want to open that.
And here I do.
So here I am, got my folders and files created here, a package.json file with the express
package installed, which is just what I wanted, or with the express package added.
I would still have to install it manually by running the right command.
So that's working the way it should.
And it's another very useful feature of github copilot, therefore.
