We have integrated the tool with GitHub. PyCharm provides easy integration with GitHub, allowing us to push changes directly. Many plugins are available on PyCharm for GitHub integration, including GitHub Copilot for auto code completion and GitHub Copilot Chat for assistance with code-related queries. The solution has significantly improved my coding efficiency with its feature that shows documentation when I hover over code. This feature, which was recently introduced, is especially useful when using an inbuilt function from a Python package because it gives me immediate access to documentation and references, helping me understand how to use the function properly.

Key learnings from peers

Valuable Features

"The automated package installation is helpful. I like the code highlighting features. A huge library of plugins is available, including AI coding tools, though I don't use those myself. The debugging tools are good, showing errors and problem lines."
"We have integrated the tool with GitHub. PyCharm provides easy integration with GitHub, allowing us to push changes directly. Many plugins are available on PyCharm for GitHub integration, including GitHub Copilot for auto code completion and GitHub Copilot Chat for assistance with code-related queries."
"The integrated code structure makes coding more organized and manageable compared to using Python alone."

Room for Improvement

"Customizing the tool can make it complicated."
"The solution is heavy because running it on laptops consumes a lot of memory and power. Typically, a laptop battery might last about eight to nine hours, but with the tool running, it reduces to two hours or one and a half hours at most. It is designed to handle large projects and heavy tasks, making it resource-intensive. For smaller projects, use IDEs like Visual Studio Code."
"The user interface and overall user experience could be more intuitive to make it easier for users to navigate and utilize the software effectively."
