Use this interactive demo to learn how to add GitHub Copilot as a reviewer on your repository.

‍

‍

Follow these simple steps: 

‍

  1. Open your GitHub account and go to your preferred repository.
  2. Select 'Settings' from the tools above.
  3. Choose and select the 'Rules' option.
  4. Then, go to 'Rulesets'.
  5. Click 'New ruleset'.
  6. Select 'New branch ruleset'.
  7. Under 'Ruleset name' type a name for the ruleset.
  8. To activate the ruleset, under 'Enforcement Status', select 'Active'.
  9. Under 'Branch rules', select 'Automatically request Copilot code review'.
  10. Optionally, if you want Copilot to review all new pushes to the pull request, select 'Review new pushes'.
  11. At the bottom of the page, click 'Create' to add Copilot as a reviewer in GitHub.

📌 Why this matters

Adding Copilot as a reviewer automatically catches potential bugs, security vulnerabilities, and code quality issues before they reach your main branch. You get instant feedback on every pull request without waiting for human reviewers or remembering to run manual checks.

Beyond basic code review, Copilot identifies subtle patterns like performance bottlenecks and maintainability concerns that might slip past even experienced developers during rushed reviews. This creates a consistent baseline of code quality across your entire team, especially valuable when working with junior developers or tight deadlines.
