- Copilot suggests custom repository property allowed values
GitHub Copilot Business and Enterprise now provide suggested allowed values when enterprise and organization admins define custom properties for repositories. This streamlines the creation of consistent governance metadata, making it easier to apply rulesets across a large fleet of repositories. Suggestions are context-aware, such as proposing compliance-related values for a "FedRAMPsurfaces" property or "yes"/"no" for "internet-facing".
