GitHub Copilot
GitHub’s AI development assistant for code suggestions, codebase questions, reviews, and delegated coding tasks.
About GitHub Copilot
Teams want AI assistance connected to the repositories, issues and pull requests they already use.
Who it’s for
- Developers using GitHub and supported editors
- Teams with established pull-request workflows
When to consider it
Consider Copilot when fitting assistance into your existing GitHub workflow matters more than adopting a separate workspace.
Tradeoffs & limitations
- Available capabilities vary by plan, client and organization policy.
- Suggestions and agent changes need review before merging.
A useful first evaluation
Try one editor task and one issue-to-pull-request task, then assess review effort and integration with your checks.
