About GitHub Copilot
GitHub Copilot is an AI coding agent and assistant that helps with work from an open issue to a merged pull request. It runs in your editor, in the terminal, on your desktop and on GitHub.
What it does
Copilot suggests code as you type and can make larger edits through agent workflows. It can also review local changes and pull requests, and it lets you pick a specific model or let Copilot choose one. Teams can set up reusable agent tasks for work that repeats.
Key features
- Code completion and next edit suggestions
- Code review for local changes and pull requests
- Agent workflows from issue to pull request
- Model selection, or let Copilot pick
- Support for third-party agents such as Claude Code and Codex
Who it's for
Individual developers, engineering teams and open source maintainers who already use GitHub for their projects. It fits best where the code and the issues already live on GitHub.

Pro+ at $39 and Max at $100 add premium models and higher usage limits. Check the current limits before you rely on the plan for a team.
