Copilot Chat in GitHub.com now can search across GitHub entities

Image

With this change, you can now use natural language within Copilot Chat in GitHub.com to search across GitHub to find commits, issues, pull requests, repositories, and topics.

Try it yourself:
– What are the most recent issues assigned to me?
– What repos are related to [insert topic]?
– What is the most recent PR from @user?

We’ve also made some changes under the hood to make Copilot more efficient with how it stores conversation histories. This means that Copilot can now remember more of the history of your conversation which should result in more informed and reliable responses ✨.

GitHub Enterprise Server 3.14 is generally available

GitHub Enterprise Server 3.14 is generally available

GitHub Enterprise Server 3.14 gives customers enhanced deployment requirements and security controls. Here are a few highlights in the 3.14 release:

  • SCIM for GHES is a popularly requested enterprise identity management feature, now available in public beta! SCIM stands for “System for Cross-domain Identity Management” and is a leading standard for user lifecycle management in SaaS applications. Enterprise administrators can configure SCIM for their GitHub Enterprise Server instance, which supports automatic provisioning of new user accounts and groups through our SCIM API. We support several paved path applications such as Entra ID and Okta that combine SAML and SCIM support in one place. Additionally, you may bring your own SAML identity provider and SCIM implementation to GitHub Enterprise Server to satisfy your unique identity and user lifecycle management needs. To get started, visit our SCIM documentation for GitHub Enterprise Server. While in public beta, we recommend testing SCIM support for your identity system in a non-production GHES environment before adding SCIM to your current setup. SCIM support can be added onto existing SAML implementations, but it will require using a new application that supports automated provisioning via SCIM in your IdP. Existing private beta customers should also reconfigure their implementation with updated IdP applications.

  • SAML settings are now visible as a read-only configuration in the enterprise settings page. Enterprise administrators are able to view these settings in the same place where SCIM support is configured for your enterprise instance.

  • We’re introducing custom organization roles, allowing you to delegate some of the organization’s administrative duties to trusted teams and users. Organization admins will have both the UI and API to manage these custom roles. See custom organization roles.

  • Code scanning option for repository rules is now available in public beta in GHES. Now, you can create a dedicated code scanning rule to block pull request merges instead of relying on status checks. This makes it easier than ever to prevent new vulnerabilities from being introduced into a code base. See set code scanning merge protection.

  • Dependabot grouped security updates are now generally available. This feature automatically groups Dependabot pull requests and lets you specify several additional options to fine tune groupings. You can enable grouped security updates for Dependabot at the repository or organization-level. If you would like more granular control over Dependabot’s grouping, you can also configure the dependabot.yml file in a repository.

  • With Generation 2 VM support, Operators can scale the GHES appliance vertically. New installs of 3.14 and later will boot on newer generation hardware by supporting both boot firmwares, BIOS, and UEFI. See Generation 2 VMs.

  • On an instance with multiple replica nodes, to start or stop replication for all nodes in a single configuration run, Operators can use the ghe-repl-start-all and ghe-repl-stop-all commands.
