About GitHub Copilot settings on GitHub

In addition to the configuration for the GitHub Copilot plugin in your supported IDE, you can configure settings for GitHub Copilot on GitHub. The settings apply wherever you use GitHub Copilot.

Enabling or disabling suggestions matching public code

Your personal settings for GitHub Copilot include an option to either allow or block code suggestions that match publicly available code. If you choose to block suggestions matching public code, GitHub Copilot checks code suggestions with their surrounding code of about 150 characters against public code on GitHub. If there is a match, or a near match, the suggestion is not shown to you.

If you choose to allow suggestions matching public code, when Copilot suggests matching code you can display details of the matches and click through to the relevant repositories on GitHub. For more information, see Finding public code that matches GitHub Copilot suggestions.

1. 在 GitHub 任意页面的右上角，单击个人资料照片，然后单击“ 您的 Copilot”****。
2. To the right of Suggestions matching public code, select the dropdown menu, then click Allow to allow suggestions matching public code, or Block to block suggestions matching public code.

Disabling or enabling Copilot 编码智能体 in your repositories

Copilot 编码智能体 allows you to assign Copilot to GitHub issues, or ask Copilot to raise a pull request from a prompt in Copilot Chat.

Copilot 编码智能体 is enabled in all repositories by default, but you can block it from being used in repositories owned by your own personal account by changing your account settings.

1. 在 GitHub 任意页面的右上角，单击个人资料照片，然后单击“ 您的 Copilot”****。
2. In the sidebar, under Copilot, click Coding agent.
3. On the Copilot 编码智能体 page, under "Policies," click the dropdown button for "Repository access," then choose either No repositories, All repositories, or Only selected repositories.
4. If you choose Only selected repositories, click Select repositories and choose the repositories where you want to enable Copilot 编码智能体.

对于 GitHub Copilot Business 和 GitHub Copilot Enterprise 订阅者，使用 Copilot 编码智能体 的权限由组织层级定义的策略设置控制。 请参阅“Adding Copilot 编码智能体 to your organization”。

如果该组织归企业所有，则可以在企业级别控制启用情况。 请参阅“Managing Copilot 编码智能体 in your enterprise”。

Enabling or disabling prompt and suggestion collection

You can choose whether your prompts and Copilot's suggestions are collected and retained by GitHub, and further processed and shared with Microsoft. For more information about data that GitHub Copilot may collect depending on your settings, see GitHub 附加产品和功能条款 and the GitHub Copilot privacy FAQ.

1. 在 GitHub 任意页面的右上角，单击个人资料照片，然后单击“ 您的 Copilot”****。
2. To allow or prevent GitHub using your data, select or deselect Allow GitHub to use my code snippets from the code editor for product improvements.

Enabling or disabling alternative AI models

You can choose whether to allow the following AI models to be used as an alternative to Copilot's default model.

• Claude - see Supported AI models in Copilot
• Gemini - see Supported AI models in Copilot

Enabling or disabling web search for GitHub Copilot Chat

If you enable this setting, Copilot Chat will use Bing to search the internet for information related to a question. Bing search is particularly helpful when discussing new technologies or highly specific subjects.

2. To the right of Copilot access to Bing, select the dropdown menu, and then click Enabled or Disabled.

Model training and improvements

By default, GitHub, its affiliates, and third parties will not use your data, including prompts, suggestions, and code snippets, for AI model training. This is reflected in your personal settings for GitHub Copilot and cannot be enabled.
