GitHub Copilot

About

GitHub Copilot is GitHub's AI coding assistant, available across supported editors and GitHub workflows. It helps developers write, understand, and change code with suggestions, chat, and task-oriented assistance informed by the current repository context. Treat suggestions as a starting point and validate security, licences, tests, and correctness before merging. Key features • Offer inline code completions and natural-language help inside supported development environments. • Explain code, suggest changes, draft tests, and help investigate issues through chat. • Integrate with GitHub's collaboration surface for pull requests and project work where enabled. • Support individual and organisation controls for choosing access and policy settings. Pricing A free plan is available for eligible use, with paid plans for expanded access and organisational features. Current inclusions vary by plan. Use cases • Reduce boilerplate when writing a new function or test. • Ask for a guided explanation of an unfamiliar code path. • Draft a small, reviewable change from an issue description. • Speed up documentation, refactoring, and test maintenance.
