Managing the availability of your Copilot Extension

When you build a Copilot Extension, you have two options for the visibility of your GitHub App:

• Public: Any user or organization account with the link to your app's installation page can install it. Making your app public automatically creates a public installation page, but does not list the app on the GitHub Marketplace.
• Private: Only the user or organization account that created the app can install it.

If you make your app public, you can choose to publish it on the GitHub Marketplace.

Changing the visibility of your Copilot Extension

1. In the upper-right corner of GitHub, select your profile photo, then click Your organizations.
2. Under "Organizations", next to the name of your organization, click Settings.
3. At the bottom of the sidebar, select Developer settings, then click GitHub Apps.
4. In the "GitHub Apps" section, next to the name of your Copilot Extension, click Edit.
5. In the sidebar, click Advanced. At the bottom of the "Danger Zone" section, you will see one of two options:
   • Make public: If you see the Make public option, your GitHub App is currently private, and can only be installed by the organization or user that created the app. You can click Make public to allow any other account with the link to your app's installation page to install your Copilot Extension, or leave your settings as they are to keep your app private.
   • Make private: If you see the Make private option, your GitHub App is currently public, and can be installed by any account with the link to your app's installation page. You can click Make private to only allow the organization or user that created the app to install it, or leave your settings as they are to keep your app public.
6. Optionally, if your GitHub App is public, you can share the link to the installation page for your Copilot Extension. In the sidebar, click Public page in the sidebar, then copy the link for your listing.

Listing your Copilot Extension on the GitHub Marketplace

To list your Copilot Extension on the GitHub Marketplace, you must meet the following requirements:

• You must publish your app from an organization that is a verified publisher on the GitHub Marketplace.
  • If your organization is not yet verified, see Applying for publisher verification for your organization.
  • If you need to transfer ownership of your app from your personal account to your organization account, see Transferring ownership of a GitHub App.
• Your app must meet the requirements for all Copilot Extension listings on the GitHub Marketplace. See Requirements for listing an app.

App managers cannot create, edit, or publish extensions on the GitHub Marketplace. To manage a listing, you should be an organization owner for the publishing organization.

1. In the upper-right corner of GitHub, select your profile photo, then click Your organizations.

2. Under "Organizations", next to the name of your organization, click Settings.

3. At the bottom of the sidebar, select Developer settings, then click GitHub Apps.

4. Select the app you'd like to publish to the GitHub Marketplace.

5. On the app settings landing page, scroll down to the Marketplace section, then click List in Marketplace. The Marketplace section is only visible if your app is public.

6. In the "Listing name" text box, type a name for your listing. This name is displayed on the GitHub Marketplace page and in search results, and can be changed later. GitHub recommends using any of the following naming conventions:

   • YOUR-PRODUCT-NAME (example: "Copilot"): We recommend this convention if your extension stays within the scope of a single product and there are no other well-known products with the same name.

   • YOUR-COMPANY-NAME (example "GitHub"): We recommend this convention if your extension spans multiple products.

   • YOUR-COMPANY-PRODUCT-NAME (example: "GitHub Copilot"): We recommend this convention if your extension stays within the scope of one product, but there are other well-known products with the same name.

   Note

   The listing name is not the same as your GitHub App's name or your Copilot Extension's slug. Changing the listing name will not affect the app name or slug.

7. In the "Primary category" section, select the dropdown menu, then click a category. You can change your selection or add a secondary category later.

8. To create a draft listing for your Copilot Extension, click Save and add more details.

9. After you create a new draft listing, you'll see a view where you can manage your listing. Before you can submit your listing for review, you need to:

   • Fill out each of the required sections
   • Verify the organization account that owns the GitHub App
   • Accept the GitHub Marketplace Developer Agreement

10. To submit your listing, click Submit for review. After your listing is reviewed, an onboarding expert will let you know if your submission was approved or denied.
