About GitHub Copilot

GitHub's AI coding assistant offering code completions, chat and agent mode across editors and GitHub, with a free tier and usage metered by AI Credits.

What is GitHub Copilot?

GitHub Copilot is an AI pair programmer from GitHub. It suggests code as you type, answers questions in chat, and can act as an agent to make multi-step changes, inside editors like VS Code and JetBrains and on GitHub itself.

Copilot's core is inline code completion: it suggests the next line or block as you type, drawing on the context of your file and project. Copilot Chat answers coding questions and explains code, and agent mode can plan and carry out multi-step changes, including code review on pull requests.

Code completions and next-edit suggestions are included on every paid plan and don't consume credits. Since June 1, 2026, premium usage, agent mode, chat with advanced models and code review, is metered by GitHub AI Credits (1 credit = $0.01), which replaced the older Premium Request Units. Each plan includes a monthly credit allowance; overages are billed per credit if allowed.

Plans split into individual (Free, Pro, Pro+, Max) and organization (Business, Enterprise) families. Enterprise adds SSO, chat on GitHub.com and codebase indexing.
