Configuring your GitHub App for your Copilot agent

Once you have configured your server and created your GitHub App, you need to configure your GitHub App for use with your Copilot agent.

Prerequisites

• You have configured your server to deploy your Copilot agent, and you have your hostname (aka forwarding endpoint). For more information, see Configuring your server to deploy your Copilot agent.
• You have created a GitHub App for your Copilot agent. For more information, see Creating a GitHub App for your Copilot Extension.

Configuring your GitHub App

1. En la esquina superior derecha de cualquier página en GitHub Enterprise Cloud, haga clic en su fotografía de perfil.

2. Navega a la configuración de tu cuenta.

   • Para una aplicación propiedad de una cuenta personal, haga clic en Configuración.
   • Para una aplicación propiedad de una organización:
     1. Haga clic en Sus organizaciones.
     2. A la derecha de la organización, haga clic en Configuración.

3. En la barra lateral izquierda, haz clic en Configuración del desarrollador.

4. En la barra lateral de la izquierda, haga clic en GitHub Apps .

5. To the right of the GitHub App you want to configure for your Copilot Extension, click Edit.

6. In the "Identifying and authorizing users" section, under "Callback URL", enter your server's hostname, then click Save changes.

   Note

   This step is only required if you intend to request user authorization (OAuth) during installation.

   Your server's hostname is the forwarding endpoint that you copied from your terminal when you configured your server. For more information, see "Configuring your server to deploy your Copilot agent."

   If you are using an ephemeral domain in ngrok, you will need to update this URL every time you restart your ngrok server.

7. In the left sidebar, click Permissions & events.

8. To expand the "Account permissions" section, click anywhere in the section.

9. In the "GitHub Copilot Chat" row, select the Access: dropdown menu, then click Read-only. Click Save changes.

10. In the left sidebar, click Copilot.

11. Read the GitHub Marketplace Developer Agreement and the GitHub Pre-release License Terms, then accept the terms for creating a Copilot Extension.

12. In the "App type" section, select the dropdown menu, then click Agent.

13. Under "URL," enter your server's hostname (aka forwarding endpoint) that you copied from your terminal.

    Note

    If you are using an ephemeral domain in ngrok, you will need to update this URL every time you restart your ngrok server.

14. Under "Inference description", type a brief description of your agent, then click Save. This will be the description users see when they hover over your agent's slug in the chat window.

15. Your pre-authorization URL is a link on your website that starts the authorization process for your extension. Users will be redirected to this URL when they decide to authorize your extension. If you are using a pre-authorization URL, under "Pre-authorization URL," enter the URL, then click Save changes.

16. In your GitHub App settings, in the left sidebar, click Install App, then, next to the account you want to install your app on, click Install.

17. En cualquier página de GitHub.com, haga clic en el icono GitHub Copilot en la parte superior derecha de la página.

    Se muestra el panel GitHub Copilot Chat. Para cambiar el tamaño del panel, haga clic y arrastre el borde superior o izquierdo.

18. Si el panel contiene una conversación anterior que tenía con Copilot, haga clic en el icono "Nueva conversación" (un signo más) en la parte superior derecha del panel.

    

19. Invoke your extension by typing @EXTENSION-NAME, replacing any spaces in the extension name with -, then press Enter.

20. If this is your first time using the extension, you will be prompted to authenticate. Follow the steps on screen to authenticate your extension.

21. Ask your extension a question in the chat window. For example, What is the software development lifecycle?.
