Features (6) ›
  • Copilot CLI for GHES supports disconnected environments

    Administrators can now configure Copilot CLI to work with GHES in air-gapped environments, setting up a model provider once for enterprise-wide use with GHES credentials. This capability is currently in technical preview.

  • Enterprise Teams is now generally available

    Enterprise owners can now use Enterprise Teams, previously in public preview, to centrally manage user access across their entire enterprise, including organizations and repositories. This simplifies user access management and reduces operational overhead.

  • Repository rulesets support individual user bypasses

    Repository rulesets now allow administrators to grant granular bypass permissions to individual users. This enables finer control, such as adding a service account to a bypass list without creating a dedicated role or team.

  • Require specific reviewers for pull requests using rulesets

    Organization owners and repository administrators can now mandate specific reviewers for pull requests by adding a required reviewers rule to a repository ruleset. This rule can target specific branches, files, and folders and works alongside CODEOWNERS to ensure broader team sign-off.

  • See release status directly in the issue sidebar

    Developers can now view release status badges, indicating "Latest release" or "Pre-release," directly in the issue sidebar when a linked pull request is included in a release. This allows quick verification of fix shipment without leaving the issue.

  • Contributor role labels visible in pull request list view

    Maintainers of public repositories can now see contributor role labels like "First-time contributor," "Contributor," and "Member" directly in the pull request list view. This provides at-a-glance context about each author's relationship to the repository.

Enhancements (1) ›
  • Security analysts can sort secret scanning requests

    Security analysts can now sort secret scanning push protection bypass requests and alert dismissal requests by date at repository, organization, and enterprise levels. This improves the prioritization and review of high volumes of security requests.
