Before you can start using GitHub Copilot Pro, you will need to set up a free trial or subscription.
Note
- If you are a member of an organization or enterprise that has a subscription to GitHub Copilot, you can request access to Copilot by going to https://github.com/settings/copilot and requesting access under "Get Copilot from an organization."
- If you are a verified student, teacher, or maintainer of a popular open source project, GitHub Copilot is free to use. See Getting free access to Copilot Pro as a student, teacher, or maintainer.
-
In the upper-right corner of any page, click your profile photo, then click Your Copilot.
-
On the GitHub Copilot settings page, click Start free trial. If you are not eligible for a free trial because you have already used the free trial or because you were part of the technical preview, you will be prompted to subscribe to Copilot instead.
-
Choose whether you want to pay monthly or yearly, and click Get access to GitHub Copilot.
If your personal account meets the criteria for a free GitHub Copilot subscription instead of a trial or paid subscription, you will automatically be taken to step 5.
-
Follow the steps to enter and confirm your payment details, then click Submit.
-
Select your preferences, then click Save and complete setup.
The Suggestions matching public code preference controls whether Copilot will provide code completion suggestions that match publicly available code.
