GitHub Copilot
AI pair-programmer that suggests code completions and chats inside your editor.
What is GitHub Copilot?
GitHub Copilot is Microsoft/GitHub's AI coding assistant, integrated into VS Code, JetBrains IDEs, Neovim, and other editors. It offers inline code completions, an in-editor chat for explaining/refactoring code, and an increasingly agentic "Workspace" mode for multi-file tasks — used by over 15 million developers.
Key features
- Free tier (2,000 completions + 50 chat messages/month) available to every GitHub account
- Pro ($10/mo) gives unlimited code completions plus a monthly premium-request allowance
- Free for verified students, teachers, and maintainers of popular open-source projects
- Business ($19/user/mo) and Enterprise ($39/user/mo) add org-wide policy controls and code review
- Since June 2026, premium/agentic usage is metered via "GitHub AI Credits" rather than flat quotas
