The GitHub Copilot integration enables SEI 2.0 to ingest usage and adoption metrics for GitHub Copilot coding assistants.

Prerequisites

Before you get started:

• Create an API key in GitHub's Copilot Settings with manage_billing:copilot, read:org, and read:enterprise permissions to access usage metrics.
• If you are using GitHub Enterprise Cloud or GitHub Enterprise Server, locate your GitHub Enterprise ID. You can find this in your GitHub Enterprise account settings or from your enterprise URL or slug.

2. From the Integrations page, navigate to the Available Integrations tab.

3. Locate the GitHub Copilot integration tile under 'AI Assistants' and click Add Integration.

4. In the Overview section, provide a name for the integration and optionally, add tags to identify the integration. Then, click Continue.

5. In the Configure Authentication section, enter your GitHub Copilot API key and click Validate & Continue.

6. Select the GitHub organization type for this integration:

   • Standard GitHub Organization: For organizations using GitHub.com without a GitHub Enterprise account.
   • GitHub Enterprise: For organizations using GitHub Enterprise Cloud or GitHub Enterprise Server.

7. If you selected GitHub Enterprise, enter your GitHub Enterprise ID and click Continue.

8. Once validated, click Validate and Create Integration.
