Managing policies for Copilot in your organization

About policies for GitHub Copilot

Organization owners can set policies to govern how GitHub Copilot can be used within the organization. For example, an organization owner can enable or disable the following Copilot features:

• Copilot Chat in the IDE
• Copilot Chat in GitHub Mobile
• Copilot in the CLI
• Suggestions matching public code

The policy settings selected by an organization owner determine the behavior of GitHub Copilot for all organization members that have been granted access to Copilot through the organization.

Policies for suggestion matching

Organization settings include an option to either allow or block code completion suggestions that match publicly available code. If you choose to block suggestions matching public code, GitHub Copilot will check potential code completion suggestions and the 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.

Enabling Copilot features in your organization

1. 在 GitHub 的右上角，选择个人资料照片，然后单击 “你的组织”。

2. 在组织旁边，单击“设置”。

3. 在边栏的“代码、规划和自动化”下，单击“ Copilot”，然后按下“策略”。

4. Use the dropdown options to the right of each feature to enable or disable that feature for your organization.

   For example, to enable or disable suggestion matching, in the "Suggestions matching public code" dropdown, select Allowed or Blocked.

Setting a policy for GitHub Copilot Extensions in your organization

GitHub Copilot Extensions integrate external tools with GitHub Copilot Chat. See "Using extensions to integrate external tools with Copilot Chat."

2. 在组织旁边，单击“设置”。
3. 在边栏的“代码、规划和自动化”下，单击“ Copilot”，然后按下“策略”。
