Set up GitHub Copilot in VS Code

Set up GitHub Copilot in VS Code

This guide walks you through setting up GitHub Copilot in Visual Studio Code. To use Copilot in VS Code, you need to have access to GitHub Copilot with your GitHub account.

Tip

If you don't yet have a Copilot subscription, you can use Copilot for free by signing up for the Copilot Free plan and get a monthly limit of completions and chat interactions.

Get access to GitHub Copilot

There are different ways to get access to GitHub Copilot:

Set up Copilot in VS Code

To use Copilot in VS Code, you need access to a GitHub Copilot subscription.

To set up Copilot in VS Code:

  1. Hover over the Copilot icon in the Status Bar and select Set up Copilot.

  2. Select Sign in to sign in to your GitHub account or Use Copilot if you're already signed in.

    If you don't have a Copilot subscription yet, you'll be signed up for the Copilot Free plan.

    Important

    Telemetry in your free version of GitHub Copilot is currently enabled. By default, code suggestions that match public code, including code references in the VS Code and <github.com> experience, are allowed. You can opt out of telemetry data collection by disabling telemetry in VS Code by setting telemetry.telemetryLevel to off, or you can adjust both telemetry and code suggestion settings in Copilot Settings.

  3. You can now start using Copilot in VS Code. Learn the basics with the Copilot Quickstart.

Use a different GitHub account with Copilot

If your Copilot subscription is associated with another GitHub account, sign out of your GitHub account in VS Code, and sign in with another account.

  1. Select the Accounts menu in the Activity Bar, and then select Sign out for the account you're currently signed in with for Copilot.
