GitHub Copilot
About
GitHub's AI pair programmer — inline code suggestions and chat across editors. Slug tracks the copilot.vim plugin used by data-collector.
What is GitHub Copilot?
GitHub Copilot is a commercial AI pair-programming tool that provides inline code suggestions and a chat interface inside supported editors. Its public documentation describes it as working across editors, and the corresponding open-source plugin copilot.vim (11651 stars on GitHub) tracks the tool’s behavior for data-collection purposes. The tool is built on large language models trained on public code, and it is offered by GitHub, a Microsoft subsidiary.
Who is GitHub Copilot for?
GitHub Copilot is aimed at developers who want real-time code completions and conversational assistance while writing code. The tool integrates into popular editors and is designed for individual developers and teams. Because it is a paid add-on, it is best suited for professionals or organizations that already use GitHub for version control and want a vendor-backed AI assistant. The pricing page lists no free tier for individual use, though GitHub occasionally offers trials.
How much does GitHub Copilot cost?
GitHub Copilot uses a paid pricing model. The starting price is $10 per month for individual developers. No other plan tiers or enterprise pricing are specified in the public data provided. The cost is a subscription billed monthly or annually, and it requires a GitHub account.
