Overview
GitHub Copilot usage metrics is now generally available, graduating from public preview to provide organizations with comprehensive visibility into how their teams adopt and use Copilot. The feature delivers data-driven insights to help leaders understand adoption trends, make informed rollout decisions, and build custom reports tailored to organizational needs.
What's Included
Dashboards
- Copilot usage dashboard: Provides clear, actionable insights including code completion activity, IDE usage, model and language breakdowns, and team adoption trends.
- Code generation dashboard: Quantifies Copilot's output by measuring lines suggested, added, or deleted across completions, chat, and agent features.
- Multi-level granularity: Enterprise and organization owners can now track adoption at the enterprise, organization, and team level without relying solely on enterprise-wide aggregates.
APIs
Three levels of API access enable programmatic usage tracking:
- Enterprise-level: Get organization-wide aggregate analysis on user engagement, Copilot usage, and pull request throughput
- Organization-level: Access Copilot usage data to understand team engagement, spot trends, and assess enablement efforts
