Setting up GitHub Copilot for your organization

Enable GitHub Copilot

Owners of organizations on GitHub Free or GitHub Team can purchase Copilot Business for their organization. Subscribe to Copilot Business.

If your organization is owned by an enterprise that has a Copilot subscription, you can ask your enterprise owner to enable Copilot for your organization. Go to https://github.com/settings/copilot and request access under "Get Copilot from an organization."

Set policies

Control which Copilot features are available in your organization. See AUTOTITLE.

Configure networking

If your organization members connect through an HTTP proxy server or firewall, add the required URLs to the allowlist. See AUTOTITLE.

If your environment uses custom SSL certificates, install them on your members' machines. See AUTOTITLE.

Grant access to members

Enable Copilot for some or all members of your organization. Consider starting with teams most likely to benefit, to discover potential blockers and demonstrate early success. See AUTOTITLE.

Next steps

• Set a governance posture that supports adoption. Avoid over-restricting Copilot by delegating administration, enabling vetted features promptly, and aligning spend controls with your goals. See AUTOTITLE.
• Explore self-service license management options. Many successful rollouts use a self-service model where developers can claim a license without approval. See AUTOTITLE.
• Learn how to plan and implement an effective enablement process to drive Copilot adoption. See AUTOTITLE.
• Enhance the development experience by enabling and training developers on the latest features. For example, share context with Copilot Spaces and enable Copilot code review on pull requests. For an example showing how these features fit together, see AUTOTITLE.
• Add Copilot cloud agent as a team member for asynchronous issue work. See AUTOTITLE.
