Can any of these be trained on your own codebase?

Co-pilot uses the surrounding context of your code, which is often good enough to feel "trained" on your own codebase.

So for example, say you have a function called "doThingie()". Copilot will look at how the function is defined, and be able to generate code that correctly uses "doThingie()".

Tabnine can train on your codebase for you AND your team. It is secure then to only you and the team you add.

It often suggests full functions built from my own code when I'm refactoring to DRY
