GitHub Copilot Extensions находятся в ограниченной общедоступной бета-версии и подлежат изменению. Чтобы запросить доступ к Copilot Extensions, присоединитесь к списку ожидания.

A Copilot Extension is a GitHub App that is associated with a Copilot agent. The GitHub App you associate your Copilot agent with is used to authenticate the Copilot agent with GitHub and to authorize the Copilot agent to access the Copilot Chat API. Each Copilot agent must be associated with a unique GitHub App.

Prerequisites

Creating a GitHub App

  2. Перейдите к настройкам учетной записи.

    • Для приложения, принадлежащих личная учетная запись, нажмите кнопку "Параметры".
    • Для приложения, принадлежащих организации:
      1. Щелкните Your organizations (Ваши организации).
      2. Справа от организации нажмите кнопку "Параметры".
  3. На левой боковой панели щелкните Параметры разработчика.

  5. Click New GitHub App.

  6. Under "GitHub App name," enter a name for your app.

    Note

    The name cannot be longer than 34 characters.

    Your app's name will be shown in the user interface when your app takes an action. Uppercase letters will be converted to lowercase, with spaces replaced by -, and accents ignored. For example, My APp Näme would display as my-app-name.

    The name must be unique across GitHub. You cannot use the same name as an existing GitHub account, unless it is your own user or organization name.

  8. Under "Homepage URL," enter a URL for your app. You can use:

    • Your app's website URL.
    • The URL of the organization or user that owns the app.
    • The URL of the repository where your app's code is stored, if it is a public repository.
  9. Under "Webhook," deselect Active.
