Hey folks! I'm curious if there are any legit ways to get GitHub Copilot Pro for free. I've heard there might be benefits for students or even for those who contribute to open-source projects. Can anyone share the exact requirements and steps to take advantage of these offers? If you have any links or official pages to point me to, that would be awesome. Thanks!

I personally have GitHub Copilot Pro for free since I'm a maintainer of a fairly popular Python library that has about 3 million daily downloads. However, I'm not entirely sure on the specific criteria for open-source contributors. As for students, it should be easy to find the info you need. Here's the link to apply as a student: [GitHub Education for Students](https://docs.github.com/en/education/about-github-education/github-education-for-students/apply-to-github-education-as-a-student).
If you're still in the learning phase, I'd suggest holding off on tools like Copilot for a bit. It's important to build a solid programming foundation first. Also, keep in mind that Copilot has faced criticism for using open-source code without proper attribution, which makes it undesirable in many open-source communities.
