GitHub Copilot

GitHub Copilot provides AI assistance for software development through supported editors and GitHub experiences. It helps with code suggestions, explanations, and other programming tasks within the tools a developer uses.

Capabilities, model choices, account requirements, and organizational controls depend on the product and plan. Generated code still needs review and appropriate testing, especially when it handles data or security-sensitive behavior. Copilot is an assistant alongside a developer's workflow rather than proof that a proposed change is correct.

GitHub Copilot includes agent capabilities for software development in supported GitHub and editor workflows. Developers can review the resulting changes and use the integrations available to their account.
