Capabilities

GitHub Copilot support is serviced via a VSCode Extension. We'd like more native integrations (let us know if you can help! Looking at your GitHub employees.)

Git AI works with Copilot in IntelliJ. The Intellij extension should be installed when you run git ai install-hooks, but if for some reason it's not showing up, we suggest restarting IntelliJ or installing manually from the marketplace.

How this integration works

Git AI automatically install the Git AI extension when it is installed. This extension listens for events related to Copilot insertions and calls git ai checkpoint

Troubleshooting

Ensure the extension is installed

Go to the Extensions tab and search for git-ai. If it's not there install it from the Marketplace:

Copilot Enterprise: Enable Preview Features

Every GitHub Copilot Enterprise user needs their organization admin to enable the Chat: Use Hooks preview feature, otherwise the Git AI extension cannot receive Copilot events.

In GitHub Enterprise, navigate to:

AI Controls → Copilot → enable Chat: Use Hooks
