|
The Docker Extension for GitHub Copilot provides a chat interface that you can
|
|
use to interact with the Docker agent. You can ask questions and get help
|
|
Dockerizing your project.
|
|
|
|
The Docker agent is trained to understand Docker-related questions, and provide
|
|
guidance on Dockerfiles, Docker Compose files, and other Docker assets.
|
|
|
|
## Setup
|
|
|
|
Before you can start interacting with the Docker agent, make sure you've
|
|
[installed](./install.md) the extension for your organization.
