Question 1

You are a part of a team developing open-source software using GitHub Copilot. Your team is concerned about code duplication issues, especially with external dependencies. You’ve been asked to explore how GitHub Copilot’s duplication detector filter works to ensure that the code it suggests does not introduce duplicate code that may lead to bugs or licensing issues. Which of the following is the best explanation of how the duplication detector filter in GitHub Copilot works and how it helps prevent duplication issues?

Options :

A : GitHub Copilot-s duplication detector filter compares suggestions against open-source licenses and prevents suggestions that might infringe on licensing terms.

B : GitHub Copilot-s duplication detector filter automatically scans the code in your repository and alerts you if any suggestions are duplicates of existing code or external libraries.

C : The duplication detector filter blocks any code suggestions that match more than 150 characters from existing open-source repositories, preventing direct duplication of copyrighted code.

D : The duplication detector filter prevents the generation of identical code to what is already present in the repository, but only if the code being suggested is over 100 lines long.

Answer: C

Question 2

You are a project manager for a small software development team. Your team uses GitHub for version control, and you’re considering GitHub Copilot to boost productivity and assist with coding. You're reviewing different GitHub Copilot plans to determine which is best for your team. You want to understand what features are available in each plan to make an informed decision. Which of the following statements about GitHub Copilot’s available plans and features is correct?

Options :

A : GitHub Copilot is available for individual developers as well as organizations, with differences in pricing and feature sets.

B : GitHub Copilot does not provide code completion for non-GitHub repositories.

C : GitHub Copilot is only available as a paid product and does not have any free plan or trial option.

D : GitHub Copilot is only available for use in Visual Studio Code, and no other IDEs are supported.

Answer: A

Question 3

You are a software developer working on a large-scale, private project for a healthcare company. The project contains a mixture of proprietary code and patient data files that must remain private to comply with HIPAA regulations. Your team uses GitHub Copilot to assist with code generation but wants to ensure that no patient data or proprietary algorithms are inadvertently accessed by Copilot. Which of the following is the most appropriate way to configure GitHub Copilot to exclude sensitive content in this scenario?

Options :

A : Enable repository-level exclusion rules for files and directories that contain proprietary code or patient data.

B : Disable GitHub Copilot for the entire repository to prevent any access to sensitive data.

C : Set the repository to private to automatically exclude it from GitHub Copilot-s access.

D : Add all files containing sensitive data to the .gitignore file to prevent GitHub Copilot from accessing them.

Answer: A

Question 4

You are working on a project that requires frequent database queries in SQL to retrieve specific information. GitHub Copilot has been helpful in writing SQL queries, but sometimes the generated queries are inefficient or miss critical filtering conditions. You want to improve your prompts to get more precise SQL queries with appropriate conditions. Which of the following prompt revisions would best improve the efficiency and accuracy of SQL query generation using GitHub Copilot?

Options :

A : "Write an SQL query to retrieve user data (user_id, first_name, last_name) from the 'users' table, but only where the user’s status is active and the user was created after 2021-01-01."

B : "Write an SQL query to retrieve all user data from the 'users' table."

C : "Create an SQL query that pulls data from a table using user data."

D : "Generate an SQL query to retrieve data from a database."

Answer: A

Question 5

You are working in an enterprise environment where data privacy is a top priority. Your team is using GitHub Copilot to generate code suggestions within your IDE, and management is concerned about how Copilot handles sensitive data, such as proprietary algorithms and API keys. You are asked to explain how GitHub Copilot processes and manages your input to ensure compliance with privacy policies. Which of the following statements best describes how GitHub Copilot processes your code and manages sensitive data like API keys or proprietary code?

Options :

A : GitHub Copilot automatically detects sensitive data and prevents it from being processed or used in code suggestions.

B : GitHub Copilot sends your code input to remote servers, where sensitive data is automatically filtered, and none of the input is stored after generating suggestions.

C : GitHub Copilot sends all user input, including sensitive data, to a remote server where it is stored and used to train future models.

D : GitHub Copilot processes your input locally in the IDE and never sends any data to external servers.

Answer: B
