This phase involves setting policies for the use of GitHub Copilot Business in your enterprise, and deciding which organizations in your enterprise can use GitHub Copilot Business. For detailed instructions, see Configuration de GitHub Copilot pour votre entreprise.

  • Next, organization owners can enable GitHub Copilot Business for their organizations. For detailed instructions, see Configuration de GitHub Copilot pour votre organisation.

  • If your personal account has been granted a seat in an organization that has enabled GitHub Copilot Business, you can now enable GitHub Copilot Business for your personal account. For detailed instructions, see Mise en place de GitHub Copilot pour vous-même.
