Pledging to being “re-founded” on its budding Copilot AI coding technology, GitHub on November 8 announced general availability plans for GitHub Copilot Chat and previews of GitHub Copilot Enterprise as well as new AI-powered security capabilities.
GitHub Copilot Chat, which has been in beta stage, will be generally available in December as part of existing GitHub Copilot subscription programs. It provides a chat interface to interact with GitHub Copilot, using whatever language a developer speaks. Answers to coding-related questions can be received from within a supported IDE, including JetBrains IDEs, Microsoft’s Visual Studio Code and Visual Studio, and the Neovim editor. Support for JetBrains is available in preview now.
