Using GitHub Copilot with an account on GHE.com

Update your development environment to access a Copilot subscription for an account on GHE.com.

To use GitHub Copilot in an IDE or the command line, you must authenticate to an account on GitHub that has a Copilot license.

If you receive access to Copilot through a managed user account owned by an enterprise on GHE.com, you may need to adjust some settings in your IDE before you can authenticate to your account.

Use the tabs at the top of this article to see instructions for your environment.
