description GitHub Enterprise Connector Overview
While Copilot for GitHub is a separate product, the enterprise connector allows Copilot to interact with your organization's specific repositories and issues. It enables developers to ask questions about internal codebases, summarize pull requests, and identify relevant documentation within private repos, bridging the gap between general AI assistance and proprietary codebase knowledge.
help GitHub Enterprise Connector FAQ
Is the GitHub Enterprise Connector the same product as GitHub Copilot?
No. The GitHub Server Knowledge connector is a Microsoft 365 Copilot connector that brings GitHub Enterprise Server documentation into Microsoft Search, Microsoft 365 Copilot, Teams, Outlook, and SharePoint. [Microsoft Learn](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/copilot/connectors/github-server-knowledge-overview)
What does the GitHub Server Knowledge connector index?
It indexes repository metadata, Markdown files such as README files, wiki pages, blogs, and other text documentation. The knowledge connector does not index issues, pull requests, or comments, which use separate Microsoft connectors. [Microsoft Learn](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/copilot/connectors/github-server-knowledge-overview)
Can it expose private repository documentation to the wrong users?
The connector is designed to enforce GitHub repository and team permissions, so users should see only content they can already access in GitHub. Microsoft Entra ID identity mapping is used to match GitHub users with Microsoft 365 identities. [Microsoft Learn](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/copilot/connectors/github-server-knowledge-overview)
Does the GitHub Server Knowledge connector work with GitHub.com?
The Server Knowledge connector is for GitHub Enterprise Server, including self-hosted installations, rather than GitHub.com. Microsoft's deployment defaults include an incremental crawl every 15 minutes and a full crawl each day.
