This is a submission for the GitHub Copilot CLI Challenge
What I Built
As a second-year undergraduate, I've recently come to face a very annoying situation. When I'm asked to use LaTeX to make the submission PDFs, I just cannot get the Tables right!
I've tried so many online LaTeX table editors but it's safe to say that none of them were able to give me a table that would fit perfectly to the page and have an easy to edit code. In the end I had to do research on LaTeX to find the format!!!
In that case, this could be called as a Silly idea that came to my head when I saw this challenge. But hey, at least my life would get a bit easier...
Demo
Project Repo: GitHub
Demo video: YouTube
Since I already had this table created in a .docx file, I transferred it into an excel file and ran the program on it.
And of course there's an output like this in the terminal along with an output.tex file.
After copying the code from the output.tex file I can paste it to my original submission document and it actually looks like this
No unnecessary pieces of code and easy for me to edit the code in my Original file to match the way I like.
Tadaa~
My Experience with GitHub Copilot CLI
If I'm being honest, this is the first CLI based coding assistant I have worked with. It was surprisingly very user friendly and welcoming. I cannot believe that I was able to build this program with just 3 messages! It came out exactly how I needed. Super easy to work with and I absolutely would keep using this!
Let me know what you think! Did I make a good tool or is this a flop?
