<p><strong>GitHub Copilot Enterprise</strong>, the latest evolution of GitHub&rsquo;s AI-powered coding assistant, is now generally available to all organizations. After months of preview testing and integration improvements, GitHub has unveiled this offering as part of its broader AI strategy&mdash;helping companies automate and accelerate software development.</p>

<p>Initially launched as a developer tool in collaboration with OpenAI, GitHub Copilot uses machine learning models to suggest code in real time. With the <strong>Enterprise edition</strong>, GitHub introduces organizational control, custom context training, and native integration with internal documentation, policies, and repositories.</p>

<p>Given GitHub&#39;s parent company, <strong>Microsoft</strong>, the Enterprise version includes deep integrations with:</p>

<ul>
	<li>
	<p><strong>Azure DevOps</strong></p>
	</li>
	<li>
