Starting today, GitHub Copilot is officially available to invoiced GitHub Enterprise customers with our new Copilot for Business offering which joins Copilot for Individuals.
This new add-on means enterprise users can now leverage GitHub Copilot’s powerful AI to write code and even entire functions with a simple editor extension.
Copilot for Business will also provide additional capabilities including license management, centralized policy controls, and industry-leading privacy. Each license will cost $19 USD/month and will be billed directly to existing Enterprise accounts.
GitHub app in Slack and Microsoft Teams – improvements
We have made bunch of improvements to our GitHub app in Slack and Microsoft Teams.
Slack
1. Introduced comment capability within Pull request notification cards
We have now added support to add comments on your pull requests directly from the notification card in Slack.
2. Introduced threading for Pull request notifications
Notifications for any Pull request will be grouped under a parent card as replies. The parent card always shows the latest status of the PR along with other meta-data like title, description, reviewers, labels and checks. Threading gives context, improve collaboration and reduces noise in the channel.
3. Added support to turn on/off threading for Issues and Pull requests
If you do not want to use threading or need some flexibility, we are also rolling out an option to turn on/off threading for issues and pull requests.

Microsoft Teams
1. Improved the create issue functionality
You can now create issues with just a click, right from the place where you interact with your team i.e. from your channels and personal app.
- The content of the chat is automatically added into the description along with the link to the MS Teams conversation.
- The last used repo in the channel will be automatically filled in. However, you can go ahead and change to the repo if needed.
- You can optionally fill in labels, assignees and milestones when you create an issue.
- Once the issue is created you will receive a confirmation card in the channel where you created the issue.
2. Enhanced the PR notification cards in Channel and Personal App
We made few UI improvements to the Pull request notifications experience in MS Teams.
- Introduced PR comment capability in GitHub personal app.
- Made few updates to the look and feel of the Pull request notification card.

The deprecation date for the CodeQL Action v1 is shifting. Initially, this was December 2022, and now it is January 2023. This change follows the updated timeline on the deprecation of GitHub Enterprise Server (GHES) 3.3.
In January 2023, the CodeQL Action v1 will be officially deprecated (alongside GHES 3.3). GitHub Action workflows that refer to v1 of the CodeQL Action will continue to work, but no new analysis capabilities will be released to v1. New CodeQL analysis capabilities will only be available to users of v2. For more information about this deprecation and detailed upgrade instructions, please see the original deprecation announcement from April 2022.
All users of GitHub code scanning (which by default uses the CodeQL analysis engine) on GitHub Actions on the following platforms should update their workflow files:
- GitHub.com (including open source repositories, users of GitHub Teams and GitHub Enterprise Cloud)
- GitHub Enterprise Server (GHES) 3.5 and later. Users of GHES 3.4: please read this section in the original deprecation announcement.
Environments in which CodeQL runs in CI/CD systems other than GitHub Actions are not affected by this deprecation.
