Maybe I’m behind the times, but I’ve been toying with Copilot integration in VS Code for the first time today. I had it help me build a custom shell script for Proxmox VMs and CTs backups. The purpose is to send offsite recent onsite backups as backing up the entire onsite archive wasn’t what I needed. My offsite backup had grown to over 50 TB in size and was still growing so I decided there must be a better way especially since I only needed a fraction of that data offsite. I know shell scripting reasonably well, but the things I couldn’t quite remember I asked for help with and it came up with some pretty good suggestions and example code. The script is up and running and it does exactly what I wanted it to do. I’ll try some Rust programming tomorrow and see what it comes up with. So far so good, though. I can see the appeal for having this tech available. It definitely sped up the development time of this shell script. #ai
