On the other hand I love the screebshots/gifs and that it is relatively "in-depth".

This blog is not intended to be better than the official docs. It is a guide on how to use copilot in the cli. Feel free to download the tool and ask it more advanced questions. This blog was written for devs across all experience levels in mind.
