About GitHub Copilot Free
GitHub Copilot Free brings AI code completion and chat directly into your editor. It suggests code as you type, answers programming questions, and helps you write code faster across virtually any language.
What You Get on the Free Plan
- 2,000 code completions per month - AI-powered suggestions as you type
- 50 chat messages per month - Ask Copilot questions about code
- Multi-language support - Works with Python, JavaScript, TypeScript, Go, Ruby, and more
- VS Code and JetBrains - Available in the most popular editors
- CLI support - Get help with command-line tasks
What to Know
2,000 completions per month is enough for light to moderate use. Heavy users writing code all day will likely hit the limit. The paid plan ($10/month) provides unlimited completions and chat. Copilot is most effective with well-structured code and clear variable names that give it context about what you are building.
