Step 5: Document the Codebase

In this step, we will learn how to document the codebase using Copilot. We will also explore how Copilot can assist in understanding the codebase, which is particularly helpful when working with unfamiliar code.

  1. Understand the Codebase

    Use the @workspace context to gain insights into the codebase. You can ask Copilot to explain classes, methods, or variables.

    Let's start with the MusicStoreService class. You can ask Copilot to explain this class and its methods.

    @workspace /explain MusicStoreService class

    When dealing with unfamiliar code, you can use the Explain feature to better understand the codebase. Select the code snippet you want to understand and invoke the Explain feature.

    You can also ask Copilot to explain the entire project codebase.

    @workspace /explain the project codebase

  2. Add Documentation

    Add documentation to the MusicStoreService class and its methods. The Generate Docs feature helps you create XML documentation comments for classes, methods, and properties.

    You can also generate documentation for the entire project. Try using the following command:

    @workspace Generate Readme file for the project

    Copilot is an great tool for working with markdown files. It can provide inline suggestions to help you generate comprehensive documentation effortlessly.
