A financial services company wants developers to ask Copilot Chat questions directly on GitHub.com and receive answers grounded in a curated set of internal README files and architecture docs from specific repositories. Which capability, and minimum plan, satisfies this requirement?
Knowledge bases are a Copilot Enterprise-only feature that let admins curate a set of repositories so Copilot Chat on GitHub.com can answer questions grounded specifically in that documentation.
A backend engineer wants to get an explanation of a complex shell one-liner and generate a new git command, entirely from the terminal without switching to an editor or browser. Which Copilot feature should they use?
Copilot in the CLI, delivered via the `gh copilot` extension for the GitHub CLI, provides `explain` and `suggest` subcommands specifically to interpret and generate terminal commands without leaving the shell.
An organization's legal team requires that Copilot never surface suggestions that closely match public code longer than a small number of characters, across every repository in the org. Where should an organization owner configure this?
The public code matching filter is an organization-level Copilot policy (available for Business and Enterprise) that blocks or allows suggestions matching public code above a certain length, and it applies org-wide so legal/compliance requirements are enforced consistently.
A team lead at a company with GitHub Copilot Business wants developers to install a third-party Copilot Extension so they can query an internal ticketing system directly from Copilot Chat. What must happen first at the organization level?
Copilot Extensions are supported on Copilot Business (not Enterprise-exclusive), but an organization owner must explicitly enable the policy allowing Extensions before members can install and use them from GitHub Marketplace.
A solo open-source maintainer only has a free personal GitHub account and wants some Copilot code completion and chat capability without paying. What is a key limitation of GitHub Copilot Free compared to Copilot Individual (Pro)?
GitHub Copilot Free provides a limited monthly quota of code completions and chat interactions for any personal GitHub.com account, whereas Copilot Individual (Pro), a paid subscription, removes that cap.
An enterprise administrator wants to enable Copilot in the CLI for only the 'Platform' team while keeping it disabled for every other Copilot user in the same organization. What is the correct approach?
Copilot feature policies like 'Copilot in the CLI' are organization-wide toggles that apply to every user with an assigned Copilot seat; there is no per-team scoping mechanism, so the admin must accept the policy applies uniformly or manage access at the seat-assignment level instead.
