Asking GitHub Copilot questions in GitHub

You can use GitHub Copilot Chat in GitHub to answer general questions about software development, or specific questions about the issues or code in a repository.

Note

GitHub Copilot Chat in GitHub is currently in 공개 미리 보기 and is subject to change.

Overview

GitHub Copilot Chat in GitHub is a chat interface that lets you ask and receive answers to coding-related questions on the GitHub website.

Copilot Chat can help you with a variety of coding-related tasks, like offering you code suggestions, providing natural language descriptions of a piece of code's functionality and purpose, generating unit tests for your code, and proposing fixes for bugs in your code. For more information, see "Responsible use of GitHub Copilot Chat in GitHub."

On GitHub, you can use Copilot Chat to ask:

Limitations

  • Chat responses may be suboptimal if you ask questions about a specific repository that you've selected as a context, and the repository has not been indexed for semantic code search. 리포지토리에 대한 쓰기 권한이 있는 GitHub Copilot 구독이 있는 사용자는 해당 리포지토리를 인덱싱할 수 있습니다. For more information, see "Indexing repositories for Copilot Chat."
  • The quality of the results from Copilot Chat may, in some situations, be degraded if very large files, or a large number of files, are used as a context for a question.

Powered by skills

Copilot is powered by a collection of skills that are dynamically selected based on the question you ask. You can tell which skill Copilot used by clicking to expand the status information in the chat window.

Screenshot of the Copilot chat panel with the status information expanded and the skill that was used highlighted with an orange outline.

You can explicitly ask GitHub Copilot Chat in GitHub to use a particular skill - for example, Use the Bing skill to find the latest GPT4 model from OpenAI.

Currently available skills

You can generate a list of currently available skills by asking Copilot: What skills are available?

Changing your AI model

Note

  • If you want to use the skills listed in the table above, or knowledge bases, on the GitHub website, you must use the gpt-4o model.
  • If you use Copilot Extensions, they may override the model you select.
  • Experimental pre-release versions of the models may not interact with all filters correctly, including the duplication detection filter.
  1. If you access Copilot Chat through a Copilot Business or Copilot Enterprise subscription, your organization or enterprise must grant members the ability to switch to a different model. See "조직에서 Copilot에 대한 정책 관리" or "엔터프라이즈에서 Copilot Business에 대한 정책과 기능 관리하기."

  2. In the bottom right of any page on GitHub, click .

  3. If the panel contains a previous conversation you had with Copilot, in the top right of the panel, click .

    Screenshot of the new conversation button, highlighted with a dark orange outline.

  4. In the top right of the panel, select the dropdown menu, then click Take conversation to immersive. Multi-model Copilot Chat is currently only available in the immersive view.

  5. In the top left of the immersive view, select the CURRENT-MODEL dropdown menu, then click the AI model of your choice.

Asking a general question about software development

You can ask a general question about software development that is not focused on a particular context, such as a repository or a knowledge base.

Depending on the question you ask, and your enterprise and organization settings, Copilot may respond using information based on the results of a Bing search. By using Bing search, Copilot can answer a broad range of tech-related questions with up-to-date details based on information currently available on the internet. For information on how to enable or disable Bing search integration, see "개별 구독자로 Copilot 정책 관리" and "엔터프라이즈에서 Copilot Business에 대한 정책과 기능 관리하기."

Note

Bing search integration into Copilot Chat in GitHub is currently in 공개 미리 보기 and is subject to change.

Asking a question about a knowledge base

Organization owners (with a Copilot Enterprise subscription) can create knowledge bases, grouping together Markdown documentation across one or more repositories. You can use a knowledge base to ask questions with that context in mind.

When you enter a query, Copilot searches for relevant documentation snippets, synthesizes a summary of the relevant snippets to answer your question, and provides links to the source documentation for additional context.

    Screenshot showing the "Attach knowledge" popover with a list of knowledge bases.

  7. At the bottom of the page, in the "Ask Copilot" box, type a question and press Enter.

    For example, if you chose a knowledge base with your organization's internal developer documentation, you could ask:

    • How do I deploy a new application?
    • What's the process for creating a new REST API?
    • What are our best practices for logging?
  8. 필요에 따라 텍스트 상자에서 을(를) 클릭하여 Copilot이(가) 응답을 계속하지 못하도록 합니다.

  9. The response will typically contain numbered references to files that Copilot uses to generate the answer, from the knowledge base you selected. To list the sources that were used, click NUMBER references.

    Screenshot showing an expanded list of source references.

  10. To display information about a source reference, click its entry in the list.

    Alternatively, to open the complete file, click the ellipsis (...), then select Open.
