Using GitHub Copilot code review

Learn how to request a code review from GitHub Copilot.

About Copilot 코드 검토

GitHub Copilot can review your code and provide feedback. Where possible, Copilot's feedback includes suggested changes which you can apply with a couple of clicks.

Copilot 코드 검토 in Visual Studio Code supports two types of review:

  • Review selection: Highlight code and ask for an initial review
  • Review changes: Request a deeper review of all your changes

The current functionality and availability of the two types of review is summarized in the following table:

Code review monthly quota

The review changes type of Copilot 코드 검토 is a premium feature with a per-person monthly quota.

When you assign Copilot as a reviewer for a pull request, one premium request is deducted from your monthly quota each time Copilot posts comments to the pull request. See Understanding and managing requests in Copilot.

If a repository is configured to automatically request a code review from Copilot for all new pull requests, the premium request usage is applied to the quota of the pull request author. If a pull request is created by GitHub Actions or by a bot, the usage will apply to the user who triggered the workflow (if identifiable), or to a designated billing owner.

When you reach your monthly quota you will not be able to get a code review from Copilot until your quota resets—unless you upgrade your Copilot plan or enable additional premium requests.

Validating Copilot code reviews

경고

Copilot isn't guaranteed to spot all problems or issues in a pull request, and sometimes it will make mistakes. Always validate Copilot's feedback carefully, and supplement Copilot's feedback with a human review.

For more information, see GitHub Copilot 코드 검토의 책임 있는 사용.

Requesting a review from Copilot

These instructions explain how to use Copilot 코드 검토 in the GitHub website. To see instructions for other popular coding environments, use the tool switcher at the top of the page.

Requesting a pull request review from Copilot

  1. On GitHub.com, create a pull request or navigate to an existing pull request.

  2. Open the Reviewers menu, then select Copilot.

    Screenshot of selecting 'Copilot' from the 'Reviewers' menu.

  3. Wait for Copilot to review your pull request. This usually takes less than 30 seconds.

  4. Scroll down and read through Copilot's comments.

    Screenshot of a code review left by Copilot.

    Copilot always leaves a "Comment" review, not an "Approve" review or a "Request changes" review. This means that Copilot's reviews do not count toward required approvals for the pull request, and Copilot's reviews will not block merging changes. For more details, see 필수 검토를 사용하여 끌어오기 요청 승인.

  5. Copilot's review comments behave like review comments from humans. You can add reactions to them, comment on them, resolve them and hide them.

    Any comments you add to Copilot's review comments will be visible to humans, but they won't be visible to Copilot, and Copilot won't reply.

Working with suggested changes provided by Copilot

Where possible, Copilot's feedback includes suggested changes which you can apply with a couple of clicks.

If you're happy with the changes, you can accept a single suggestion from Copilot and commit it, or accept a group of suggestions together in a single commit. For more information, see 끌어오기 요청에 피드백 통합.

Providing feedback on Copilot's reviews

You can provide feedback on Copilot's comments directly within each comment. We use this information to improve the product and the quality of Copilot's suggestions.

  1. On a pull request review comment from Copilot, click the thumbs up (👍) or thumbs down (👎) button.

    Screenshot showing a Copilot 코드 검토 comment with the thumbs up and thumbs down buttons.

  2. If you click the thumbs down button, you're asked to provide additional information. You can, optionally, pick the reason for your negative feedback and leave a comment before clicking Submit feedback.

    Screenshot of the form for providing additional information when you give negative feedback on a comment from Copilot.

Requesting a re-review from Copilot

When you push changes to a pull request that Copilot has reviewed, it won't automatically re-review your changes.

To request a re-review from Copilot, click the button next to Copilot's name in the Reviewers menu. For more information, see 끌어오기 요청 검토 요청.

참고 항목

When re-reviewing a pull request, Copilot may repeat the same comments again, even if they have been dismissed with the "Resolve conversation" button or downvoted with the thumbs down (👎) button.

Enabling automatic reviews

By default, you manually request a review from Copilot on each pull request, in the same way you would request a review from a human. However, you can set up Copilot to automatically review all pull requests. See Configuring automatic code review by Copilot.
