GitHub Copilot is an AI pair programmer tool that helps you write code faster and smarter. Copilot for Xcode is an Xcode extension that provides inline coding suggestions as you type.

Two permissions are required: Accessibility and Xcode Source Editor Extension. For more on why these permissions are required see TROUBLESHOOTING.md.

The first time the application is run the Accessibility permission should be requested:

The Xcode Source Editor Extension permission needs to be enabled manually. Click Extension Permission from the Copilot for Xcode settings to open the System Preferences to the Extensions panel. Select Xcode Source Editor and enable GitHub Copilot:

After granting the extension permission, please restart Xcode to ensure the Github Copilot menu is available and not disabled under the Xcode Editor menu.

Keyboard shortcuts can be set for all menu items in the Key Bindings section of Xcode preferences.
To sign into GitHub Copilot, click the Sign in button in the settings application. This will open a browser window and copy a code to the clipboard. Paste the code into the GitHub login page and authorize the application.

To install updates, click Check for Updates from the menu item or in the settings application.

After installing a new version, Xcode must be restarted to use the new version correctly.

New versions can also be installed from dmg files downloaded from the releases page. When installing a new version via dmg, the application must be run manually the first time to accept the downloaded from the internet warning.
To avoid confusion, we recommend disabling Predictive code completion under Xcode > Preferences > Text Editing > Editing.
Press tab to accept the first line of a suggestion, hold option to view the full suggestion, and press option + tab to accept the full suggestion.
