Credit: thinkhubstudio/Shutterstock GitHub Copilot Enterprise, an edition of the AI-based pair programming assistant that can be customized to an organization’s codebase and processes, is now generally available, GitHub announced on February 27. GitHub Copilot Enterprise serves as a companion that lets developers ask questions about public and private code, get up to speed with new codebases, build consistencies across engineering teams, and ensure users have access to the same standards and prior work, GitHub said. Chat conversations can be tailored to an organization’s repositories, with answers based on the organizational knowledge base. Pull request diff analysis is offered as well. Bing-powered web search is a feature now in beta. GitHub Copilot Enterprise requires the use of GitHub Enterprise Cloud, and is priced at $39 per user per month. Like the individual and business editions of GitHub Copilot, GitHub Copilot Enterprise integrates into the user’s development environment and offers real-time coding suggestions and comments as they type. Fine-tuned models soon will be offered as an an add-on capability. Other capabilities include slash commands and context variables, pull request summary generation, and integration with GitHub. Enterprise-grade security is featured as well. While GitHub describes Copilot as becoming an integral part of the developer experience, the technology has raised concerns over links to fee-based tools, its use of public codebases, and, more recently, whether it may replicate existing security issues in code.
