GitHub Copilot is available across various surfaces: in IDEs, in the CLI, and as multiple agents and chat interfaces on the GitHub website.
A dedicated policy exists to enable or disable each supported feature or surface. Additionally, you can set various policies to customize or control the Copilot experience. However, not every policy applies to every available surface.
