Text of the page (random words):
ns general what is github copilot github copilot is an ai pair programmer that helps you write code faster and with less work it draws context from comments and code to suggest individual lines and whole functions instantly github copilot is powered by openai codex a generative pretrained language model created by openai it is available as an extension for visual studio code visual studio neovim and the jetbrains suite of integrated development environments ides what data has github copilot been trained on github copilot is powered by codex a generative pretrained ai model created by openai it has been trained on natural language text and source code from publicly available sources including code in public repositories on github does github copilot write perfect code in a recent evaluation we found that users accepted on average 26 of all completions shown by github copilot we also found that on average more than 27 of developers code files were generated by github copilot and in certain languages like python that goes up to 40 however github copilot does not write perfect code it is designed to generate the best code possible given the context it has access to but it doesn t test the code it suggests so the code may not always work or even make sense github copilot can only hold a very limited context so it may not make use of helpful functions defined elsewhere in your project or even in the same file and it may suggest old or deprecated uses of libraries and languages when converting comments written in non english to code there may be performance disparities when compared to english for suggested code certain languages like python javascript typescript and go might perform better compared to other programming languages like any other code code suggested by github copilot should be carefully tested reviewed and vetted as the developer you are always in charge will github copilot help me write code for a new platform github copilot is trained on public code when a new library framework or api is released there is less public code available for the model to learn from that reduces github copilot s ability to provide suggestions for the new codebase as more examples enter the public space we integrate them into the training set and suggestion relevance improves in the future we will provide ways to highlight newer apis and samples to raise their relevance in github copilot s suggestions how does a customer get the most out of github copilot github copilot works best when you divide your code into small functions use meaningful names for functions parameters and write good docstrings and comments as you go it also seems to do best when it s helping you navigate unfamiliar libraries or frameworks how can a customer contribute by using github copilot and sharing your feedback in the feedback forum you help to improve github copilot please also report incidents e g offensive output code vulnerabilities apparent personal information in code generation directly to copilot safety github com so that we can improve our safeguards github takes safety and security very seriously and we are committed to continually improving human oversight can github copilot introduce insecure code in its suggestions public code may contain insecure coding patterns bugs or references to outdated apis or idioms when github copilot synthesizes code suggestions based on this data it can also synthesize code that contains these undesirable patterns this is something we care a lot about at github and in recent years we ve provided tools such as github actions dependabot and codeql to open source projects to help improve code quality of course you should always use github copilot together with good testing and code review practices and security tools as well as your own judgment does github own the code generated by github copilot github copilot is a tool like a compiler or a pen github does not own the suggestions github copilot provides to you you are responsible for the code you write with github copilot s help we recommend that you carefully test review and vet the code before pushing it to production as you would with any code you write that incorporates material you did not independently originate does github copilot copy code from the training set github copilot s suggestions are all generated through ai github copilot generates new code in a probabilistic way and the probability that they produce the same code as a snippet that occurred in training is low the models do not contain a database of code and they do not look up snippets our latest internal research shows that about 1 of the time a suggestion may contain some code snippets longer than 150 characters that matches the training set previous research showed that many of these cases happen when github copilot is unable to glean sufficient context from the code you are writing or when there is a common perhaps even universal solution to the problem what can i do to reduce github copilot s suggestion of code that matches public code we built a filter to help detect and suppress github copilot suggestions which contain code that matches public code on github copilot for individual users have the choice to enable that filter during setup on their individual accounts for copilot for business users the enterprise administrator controls how the filter is applied they can control suggestions for all organizations or defer control to individual organization administrators these organization administrators can turn the filter on or off during setup assuming their enterprise administrator has deferred control for the users in their organization with the filter enabled github copilot checks code suggestions with its surrounding code for matches or near matches ignoring whitespace against public code on github of about 150 characters if there is a match the suggestion will not be shown to you in addition we have announced that we are building a feature that will provide a reference for suggestions that resemble public code on github so that you can make a more informed decision about whether and how to use that code as well as explore and learn how that code is used in other projects just like when you write any code that uses material you did not independently originate you should take precautions to understand how it works and ensure its suitability these include rigorous testing ip scanning and checking for security vulnerabilities you should make sure your ide or editor does not automatically compile or run generated code before you review it other than the filter what other measures can i take to assess code suggested by github copilot you should take the same precautions as you would with any code you write that uses material you did not independently originate and should take precautions to ensure its suitability these include rigorous testing ip scanning and checking for security vulnerabilities you should make sure your ide or editor does not automatically compile or run generated code before you review it fairness and broader impact will github copilot work as well using languages other than english given public sources are predominantly in english github copilot will likely work less well in scenarios where natural language prompts provided by the developer are not in english and or are grammatically incorrect therefore non english speakers might experience a lower quality of service does github copilot support accessibility features we are conducting internal testing of github copilot s ease of use by developers with disabilities and working to ensure that github copilot is accessible to all developers please feel free to share your feedback on github copilot accessibility in our feedback forum does github copilot produce offensive outputs github copilot includes filters to block offensive language in the prompts and to avoid synthesizing suggestions in sensitive contexts we continue to work on improving the filter system to more intelligently detect and remove offensive outputs if you see offensive outputs please report them directly to copilot safety github com so that we can improve our safeguards github takes this challenge very seriously and we are committed to addressing it how will advanced code generation tools like github copilot affect developer jobs bringing in more intelligent systems has the potential to bring enormous change to the developer experience we do not expect github copilot to replace developers rather we expect github copilot to partner with developers augment their capabilities and enable them to be more productive reduce manual tasks and help them focus on interesting work we also believe that github copilot has the potential to lower barriers to entry enabling more people to explore software development and join the next generation of developers we are working to test these hypotheses with both internal and external research privacy copilot for business what data does copilot for business collect github copilot relies on file content and additional data to work it collects data to provide the service some of which is then retained for further analysis and product improvements copilot for business collects data as described below user engagement data when you

takes the protection measures described below in how is the transmitted code snippets data protected and follows responsible practices in accordance with our privacy statement so that the use of your telemetry data to improve these models does not result in this data being shared with other github copilot users how is the transmitted code snippets data protected we know that user edit actions source code snippets and urls of repositories and file paths are sensitive data consequently several measures of protection are applied including the transmitted data is encrypted in transit and at rest access is strictly controlled the data can only be accessed by 1 named github personnel working on the github copilot team or on the github platform health team 2 microsoft personnel working on or with the github copilot team and 3 openai personnel who work on github copilot role based access controls and multi factor authentication are required for personnel accessing code snippet data how can users of copilot for individuals control use of their code snippets data github copilot gives you choices about how it uses the data it collects user engagement data which includes pseudonymous identifiers and general usage data is required for the use of github copilot and will continue to be collected processed and shared with microsoft and openai as you use github copilot users of copilot for individuals can choose whether code snippets data is retained by github and further processed and shared with microsoft and openai by adjusting user settings users of copilot for individuals can request deletion of code snippet data associated with their github identity by filling out a support ticket will my private code be shared with other users no we follow responsible practices in accordance with our privacy statement to ensure that your code snippets will not be used as suggested code for other users of github copilot does github copilot ever output personal data because codex the model powering github copilot was trained on publicly available code its training set included public personal data that was included in that code from our internal testing we found it to be very rare that github copilot suggestions included personal data verbatim from the training set in some cases the model will suggest what appears to be personal data email addresses...
