It’s been a little over a month since GitHub Copilot Enterprise became generally available. Check out what’s new below!
Enhanced contextual understanding and more relevant suggestions in GitHub.com
Copilot Chat in GitHub.com now uses faster and smarter embedding models to power content retrieval, giving Copilot higher quality and more relevant context when searching code and knowledge bases.
Copilot Chat in GitHub.com now knows about the programming languages used in the repository you’re looking at: Copilot could sometimes give answers based on a programming language not used by your project. Copilot now knows what programming languages a repository uses, so it can give code examples more tailored to your context.
Faster help with understanding pull request changes
It’s now easier to ask Copilot about the changed files in a diff: From the files changed view, you can now pick the files you’re most interested in asking Copilot about.
You can also now ask Copilot about specific lines in a diff more easily by clicking on the Copilot icon when you hover on a line of code.
Usability improvements
A big thank you to all of our customers for the great feedback you’ve been providing. We’ve made a whole bunch of small fixes, including:
You can now start typing your next question to Copilot while the current response is still generating: Previously you had to wait for Copilot’s message to complete generating before a follow-up question could be composed.
Keyboard up/down arrows can now be used to cycle through past messages: Perhaps you want to ask a similar question from earlier in the conversation history? Hitting the up key on your keyboard will now enable you to cycle through previous messages.
Copilot Chat in GitHub.com now has better support for Japanese and Chinese characters: Previously the message could be submitted to Copilot after the IME conversion selection but before the user was ready to send the message to Copilot.
