Knowledge bases are a way to bring together Markdown documentation across one or more repositories. When you ask a question in Copilot 채팅 with a knowledge base selected, Copilot will search the knowledge base for relevant information and synthesize a response.

Creating a knowledge base

You can create a knowledge base from a single repository or a selection of repositories. You can create a knowledge base using public, private, and/or internal repositories.

Knowledge bases you create will be accessible by all organization members with a Copilot Enterprise plan. When an organization member uses a knowledge base as context in GitHub Copilot 채팅, the response will only use data from repositories that the organization member has read access to.
