GitHub Copilot · Your AI coding agent · GitHub · GitHub

Move from a single task to a project spanning repositories without losing context. Bring in the tools you use, automate recurring work, and decide what ships.
Open a Copilot session with the task, discussion, and repository context already connected.
Give each task its own session and track progress from one view.
Let long-running tasks continue, then check progress or resume them from the Copilot app, CLI, editor, github.com, or GitHub Mobile.
Run reusable agent tasks on demand, on a schedule, or from supported triggers.
Find code quality and security issues before opening a pull request, then ask Copilot to address the findings you choose.
Combine Copilot code review with team feedback and checks. Delegate follow-up changes to the Copilot cloud agent when needed.
Match each task with one or more models, balancing quality, speed, and cost.
Select a specific model when you want direct control.
Connect supported cloud model providers with your own API key, or run models locally with Ollama and Foundry Local.
Use code, pull requests, issues, and search results to give Copilot context for the task.
Define coding standards and repeatable workflows with repository instructions and skills.
Use Copilot Connectors to bring in data and tools from the services you already use.
Discover MCP servers, skills, and plugins on GitHub, then add the ones you choose.

Whether you're charged with scaling enterprise operations or boosting developer productivity, GitHub Copilot equips you to build what’s next.
GitHub Copilot is an AI coding agent that helps you write, understand, and ship software. It helps you across every step of the software development lifecycle including exploring your codebase, planning your project, automating your workflows, reviewing your changes, and resolving merge conflicts.
Because Copilot is built into GitHub, it works within the development workflow you already use:
Your code and its history.
The issues and pull requests you already use to track work.
The automations you run in your repository.
A change can start as an issue, be picked up by an agent, return as a pull request, get reviewed for quality and security, and be merged. You and Copilot work on it in the same place, with the same context, instead of moving code into separate tools and back again.
GitHub Copilot is trained on all languages that appear in public repositories.
GitHub Copilot is available in multiple IDEs including Visual Studio Code, Visual Studio, JetBrains IDEs, XCode, Vim, Neovim, Zed, and Eclipse. GitHub Copilot is also available in the terminal/CLI, through the GitHub Copilot desktop app, on the web, on mobile, in Slack, and in Teams. You can easily start working on one surface and continue the same session on another. Learn more here.
You can find a plethora of resources on GitHub Docs including quickstart guides for multiple surfaces and best practices. Our community has built Awesome GitHub Copilot to share reusable agents, skills, instructions, hooks, and tools built by developers to help you ship faster with Copilot. You can also find tutorials and YouTube videos to help you get started today!
GitHub AI Credits are how you pay for AI usage in GitHub Copilot. Every plan includes a monthly allowance: 1 AI credit = $0.01 USD.
You use credits when you chat with Copilot and work with agents. Code completions and next edit suggestions don't use credits. They remain unlimited with every paid plan.
How many credits an interaction uses depends on the model you choose and the complexity of the task. A quick question to a lightweight model costs a fraction of a credit. A longer agent session on a frontier model across many files costs more.
GitHub Copilot has multiple offerings for organizations and individual developers. Key differences between the plans include total GitHub AI Credits and available models. To see more information and a comparison chart between plans, please see our plans & pricing page.
When you've used your monthly allowance, you have a few options:
Wait for your next cycle. Your included allowance resets every month.
Keep working with paid usage. Set a dollar budget for additional usage and Copilot continues without interruption. Credits draw down at $0.01 each, so a $10 budget covers 1,000 credits.
Switch to a less expensive model. Lightweight models use fewer credits per interaction and stretch your remaining allowance further.
