What I Built

I built a Password Generator Web Application that allows users to generate strong and secure passwords instantly.
The application includes:

  1. Adjustable password length
  2. Options to include:
    Uppercase letters,
    Lowercase letters,
    Numbers,
    Special characters

  3. Clean and responsive UI

  4. One-click copy to clipboard

The goal of this project was to create a simple, fast, and practical tool that anyone can use for generating secure passwords.

As a student, this project helped me strengthen my frontend skills and understand how to deploy a production-ready web application.

My Experience with GitHub Copilot CLI

I used GitHub Copilot CLI in multiple stages of development:

  1. Converting Tailwind CSS to External CSS

Copilot CLI helped me convert Tailwind-based styling into structured external CSS files.
This saved time and reduced manual refactoring.

  1. Generating README File

I used Copilot CLI to generate a clean and professional README file for my repository.

  1. Git Automation

Copilot CLI helped me:

  • Create commit messages
  • Commit changes
  • Push code to GitHub This streamlined my workflow and made version control faster.

Experience:
GitHub Copilot CLI significantly improved my development speed. It helped reduce repetitive tasks and improved productivity.

However, I felt that it consumes a lot of request credits. Optimizing credit usage could improve the experience even further.
