GitHub Copilot app adds general availability for GitHub Enterprise Server

GitHub announced on November 13, 2026 that the standalone GitHub Copilot app now generally supports GitHub Enterprise Server accounts, according to a GitHub changelog post. The change lets enterprise and on premises GitHub customers use the app with their own repositories, issues and pull requests.

What changed

• The feature moves from opt in preview to general availability.
• It is available in the GitHub Copilot app version 1.2.0 and later.
• Users sign in with a GitHub.com or GHE.com account, then add a GitHub Enterprise Server account through Settings, Accounts, Add account.
• The standalone Copilot app can now work with GitHub Enterprise Server repositories, issues and pull requests.
• Cloud sessions are not available for GitHub Enterprise Server accounts in this release.

What it means for people who build with AI

The standalone Copilot app is separate from the CLI and the VS Code extension, and this release extends it to enterprise and on premises GitHub customers for the first time at general availability. For developers working inside organizations that run GitHub Enterprise Server, this means they can now use the same Copilot app to browse and act on their internal repositories, issues and pull requests, broadening Copilot's addressable developer audience without needing a separate tool.
