  - GitHub Copilot transforms the developer experience. Backed by the leaders in AI, GitHub Copilot provides contextualized assistance throughout the software development lifecycle, from inline suggestions and chat assistance in the IDE to code explanations and answers to docs in GitHub and more. With GitHub Copilot elevating their workflow, developers can focus on: value, innovation, and happiness.
  - GitHub Copilot integrates with leading editors, including Visual Studio Code, Visual Studio, JetBrains IDEs, and Neovim, and, unlike other AI coding assistants, is natively built into GitHub. Growing to millions of individual users and tens of thousands of business customers, GitHub Copilot is the world’s most widely adopted AI developer tool and the competitive advantage developers ask for by name.
  - Who is eligible to access GitHub Copilot for free?
  - GitHub Copilot Free is a new free pricing tier with limited functionality for individual developers. Users assigned a Copilot Business or Copilot Enterprise seat are not eligible for access. Users with access to Copilot Pro through a paid subscription, trial, or through an existing verified OSS, student, faculty, or MVP account may elect to use Free instead.
  - GitHub Copilot is available as an extension in Visual Studio Code, Visual Studio, Vim, Neovim, the JetBrains suite of IDEs, and Azure Data Studio. Although inline suggestion functionality is available across all these extensions, chat functionality is currently available only in Visual Studio Code, JetBrains, and Visual Studio. GitHub Copilot is also supported in terminals through GitHub CLI and as a chat integration in Windows Terminal Canary. With the GitHub Copilot Enterprise plan, GitHub Copilot is natively integrated into GitHub.com. All plans are supported in GitHub Copilot in GitHub Mobile. GitHub Mobile for Copilot Pro and Copilot Business have access to Bing and public repository code search. Copilot Enterprise in GitHub Mobile gives you additional access to your organization's knowledge.
  - What are the differences between the GitHub Copilot Business, GitHub Copilot Enterprise, and GitHub Copilot Individual plans?
  - Organizations can choose between GitHub Copilot Business and GitHub Copilot Enterprise. GitHub Copilot Business primarily features GitHub Copilot in the coding environment - that is the IDE, CLI and GitHub Mobile. GitHub Copilot Enterprise includes everything in GitHub Copilot Business. It also adds an additional layer of customization for organizations and integrates into GitHub.com as a chat interface to allow developers to converse with GitHub Copilot throughout the platform. GitHub Copilot Enterprise can index an organization's codebase for a deeper understanding of the customer's knowledge for more tailored suggestions. For more details, refer to the documentation.
  - GitHub Copilot Individual is designed for individual developers, freelancers, students, educators, and open source maintainers. The plan includes all the features of GitHub Copilot Business except organizational license management, policy management, and IP indemnity.
  - GitHub Copilot is powered by generative AI models developed by GitHub, OpenAI, and Microsoft. It has been trained on natural language text and source code from publicly available sources, including code in public repositories on GitHub. Starting on April 24, GitHub may also use interactions from users with a Copilot Free, Copilot Pro, and Copilot Pro+ subscription - including inputs, outputs, code snippets, and associated context - to train and improve our AI models unless they have opted out. This allows us to build more intelligent, context-aware coding assistance for a more diverse set of coding tasks based on real-world development patterns. Users were notified 30 days before the change went into effect and can opt out from allowing their data to be used for training in their GitHub account settings at any time.
  - Which plan includes GitHub Copilot Autofix?
  - GitHub Copilot Autofix provides contextual explanations and code suggestions to help developers fix vulnerabilities in code, and is included in GitHub Advanced Security.
  - Access to Copilot Business and Enterprise is managed by your GitHub Administrator. They can control access to preview features, models, and set GitHub Copilot policies for your organization. Additionally, you can use your network firewall to explicitly allow access to Copilot Business and/or block access to Copilot Pro or Free. For more details, refer to the documentation.

It also adds an additional layer of customization for organizations and integrates into GitHub.com as a chat interface to allow developers to converse with Copilot throughout the platform. GitHub Copilot Enterprise can index an organization’s codebase for a deeper understanding of the customer’s knowledge for more tailored suggestions and will offer customers access to fine-tuned custom, private models for code completion.
  - GitHub Copilot Pro is designed for individual developers, freelancers, students, educators, and open source maintainers. The plan includes all the features of GitHub Copilot Business except organizational license management, policy management, and IP indemnity.
  - GitHub Copilot Max is built for heavy Copilot usage, including sustained agent-driven workflows, and includes $100/month in GitHub AI Credits.
  - How can I upgrade my GitHub Copilot Free license to Copilot Pro?
  - If you're on the Free plan, you can upgrade to Pro through your Copilot settings page or directly on the Copilot marketing page.
  - GitHub Copilot Free users are limited to 2000 completions and 50 chat requests (including Copilot Edits).
  - Which plan includes GitHub Copilot Autofix?
  - GitHub Copilot Autofix provides contextual explanations and code suggestions to help developers fix vulnerabilities in code, and is included in GitHub Advanced Security and available to all public repositories.
  - Can users in my organization use Copilot code reviews for their pull requests if they don’t have a Copilot license?
  - Organizations can now enable Copilot code review on all pull requests on github.com—including pull requests from users who are not assigned a Copilot license.
  - This allows you to extend the quality and rich analysis of Copilot code review to all pull requests, regardless of its author, giving you complete coverage and confidence that pull requests have been reviewed.
  - To enable this functionality, an enterprise/org admin must first have Copilot enabled and then enabled two policies.
  - Usage from non-licensed users is billed directly to your organization as GitHub AI Credits. This flexible model allows you to get full review coverage on every PR without purchasing a full Copilot seat for non-development contributors who may not need Copilot.
  - No. This capability is off by default and gives the enterprise admin control to enable or disable. An admin must explicitly enable two separate policies to activate:
  - ‘GitHub AI Credits paid usage’ must be enabled to allow enterprises to be charged for GitHub AI Credits exceeding their included usage.
  - We encourage admins to set up budgets to control spending on our metered products, especially customers who have not enabled the ‘Premium request paid usage’ policy in the past. You can track all premium request usage in your billing dashboard to monitor and control spending.
  - You use credits when you chat with Copilot, work with agents, or use Copilot CLI, Spaces, and Spark. Code completions and next edit suggestions don't use credits. They remain unlimited with every paid plan.
  - Does GitHub use Copilot Business or Enterprise data to train GitHub’s model?
  - No. GitHub does not use either Copilot Business or Enterprise data to train its models.
  - How long does GitHub retain Copilot data for Business and Enterprise customers?
  - If and for how long GitHub’s retains Copilot data depends on how a Copilot user accesses Copilot and for what purpose. The default settings for Copilot Business and Enterprise Customers are as follows:
  - We are conducting internal testing of GitHub Copilot’s ease of use by developers with disabilities and working to ensure that GitHub Copilot is accessible to all developers. Please feel free to share your feedback on GitHub Copilot accessibility in our feedback forum.
