About GitHub Copilot

GitHub Copilot is a coding assistant and agent platform spanning code completion, chat, command-line work, pull-request review and delegated cloud tasks. Developers can choose models or third-party coding agents and keep work connected to GitHub repositories, issues and development environments. This breadth makes it a natural fit for GitHub-centered teams, but agent and premium-model activity consumes plan allowances or AI credits. Generated code still requires testing, security scanning, license awareness and human review before release.
