GitHub Copilot Metrics API GA release now available

We’re excited to announce the GA release of the GitHub Copilot Metrics API, available to all customers of GitHub Copilot Business and GitHub Copilot Enterprise.

What is the Copilot Metrics API?

The GitHub Copilot Metrics API is designed to supply you with information about Copilot’s usage within your GitHub enterprise, organizations, and teams. The data from the API is intended to be consumed and combined with your organization’s own data to create greater visibility into how Copilot fits into the bigger picture of your software development cycle. It offers visibility into utilization of individual Copilot features and the volume of daily active users.

What’s included in the GA release?

  • New metrics for Pull Request summaries.
  • New metrics for Copilot Chat in GitHub.com.
  • Improved clarity for code completions and Copilot Chat in IDE metrics.
  • Daily summary of total engaged users.
  • Built in support for slicing data on custom models, arriving shortly after release.
  • Aggregation by GitHub enterprise, organization, and team.
  • Up to 28 days of history is available.
  • Metrics are loaded end of day UTC, and are summarized by day.
  • Terminology alignment with the User Management API.

Will my current reporting be impacted?

The GA release of the Copilot Metrics API introduces a newly revised schema which preserves all of the concepts from the preview, while expanding the contents in new ways. With the GA release, the preview route (/usage) is now closing down . To ensure that your existing reports are not interrupted, the preview route will remain online through January 31, 2025, when it will be retired.

Copilot Chat in VS Code upleveled with new GitHub skills

New skills have been added to Copilot Chat in VS Code, enabling you to search across GitHub to find commits, issues, pull requests, repositories, and topics. GitHub Copilot will either automatically infer when to use the @github agent, or you can invoke it directly by asking questions like:
– @github What are all of the open PRs assigned to me?
– @github What are the latest issues assigned to me?
– @github When was the latest release?
– @github Show me the recent merged pr's from @dancing-mona

This functionality is available to all Copilot users, with Copilot Chat v0.20.3 or later and VS Code or VS Code Insiders 1.93 or later. Learn more about asking questions in Copilot Chat on VS Code and available skills

Announcing the Public Beta of GitHub Copilot Extensions 🎉

Copilot Extensions header image

GitHub Copilot Extensions are now available in public beta 🚀 to all GitHub Copilot users and open for any developer or organization to create extensions. Alongside, we’re introducing a comprehensive Copilot Extensions Toolkit,
designed to equip developers by centralizing the information they need
to build quality extensions.

💡 What are Copilot Extensions and how to use them

Copilot Extensions integrate with your favorite dev tools directly into Copilot Chat across Visual Studio, VS Code, and GitHub.com (with support for JetBrains IDE coming soon!). Interact with databases, testing frameworks, deployment tools, and more — all without leaving your flow. For example:
– Docker’s extension can help you generate the right Docker assets for your project
– New Relic’s extension can help instrument your system and onboard with New Relic from within your editor

Additionally, enterprises and organizations have the ability to build private extensions. Copilot can interact with context from your internal developer tooling, execute workflows, and adhere to your organization’s best practices.

🏁 Getting Started

To use extensions
– If you have access to Copilot through a Copilot Business or Copilot Enterprise subscription, an organization or enterprise owner needs to enable the Copilot Extensions policy for your organization or enterprise.
– Visit the GitHub Marketplace to install extensions.
– Get started with our documentation and start using extensions in Copilot Chat in GitHub.com or in the VS Code and Visual Studio editors.

To build extensions
– Access our documentation and Copilot Extensions Toolkit for tutorials and tools
– Develop your extension, and decide whether you want to keep it private to your organization or submit it to the GitHub Marketplace.
– VS Code extension developers can also add Copilot functionality to their existing VS Code extensions. Learn more here.

Share your experiences to help us improve the platform!
– Join the discussion within the GitHub Community.
– To share feedback on specific extensions, let us know in our Copilot Extensions feedback hub.
– If you’re building extensions, fill out the Extension Developer Survey for detailed feedback and feature requests.
