GitHub is making it even easier for developers to use Copilot in a professional capacity with the general availability of GitHub Copilot Enterprise, starting at $39 per user per month.
GitHub Copilot Enterprise version is GitHub copilot which integrates into the organization’s knowledge base so that it can provide more relevant and specific answers, enabling greater developer productivity.
This new offering has features that simplify navigation and code completion, helping developers gain a deeper understanding of their code base. “It enables junior developers to contribute faster, helps senior developers handle live incidents, and helps modernize legacy code bases by offering clear code summaries, relevant suggestions, and quick answers to questions about code behavior,” wrote Thomas Dohmke, GitHub’s CEO in blog post.
Chat functionality integrates directly into GitHub.com, allowing developers to ask questions and receive responses that include links to relevant documentation or other existing solutions that meet their needs.
GitHub is also beta testing integration with Bing search, which will allow developers to turn to the web to find information, such as looking for framework updates.
Another feature of GitHub Copilot Enterprise is automatically generated pull request summaries and the ability to analyze the difference between existing code and proposed changes, which will help save time in understanding the changes made to the codebase.
GitHub has stated that GitHub Copilot Enterprise does not use company data to train its models, except in the case of custom models for which express permission is given.
“Personalized natural language recommendations are now at the fingertips of all our developers at Figma,” said Tommy MacWilliam, infrastructure engineering manager at Figma. “Copilot Enterprise has improved SDLC collaboration by making it easier for our engineers to source and find information through Copilot Chat. We also see a significant increase in overall developer productivity. Our engineers code faster, collaborate more efficiently and achieve better results.”
