Use this interactive demo to learn how to integrate GitHub Copilot with PyCharm.

‍

To integrate GitHub Copilot with pyCharm, follow these steps:

‍

Head to the PyCharm dashboard and click 'Plugins'.
Switch over to the 'Marketplace' tab to browse available plugins.
Type GitHub Copilot into the search bar and find the official plugin from GitHub.
Hit 'Install' next to the GitHub Copilot plugin to get started.
Click 'Accept' to proceed with the installation.
Click 'Sign in to GitHub' to connect your account.
In your browser, click 'Continue' to authenticate with GitHub.
Select 'Authorize GitHub' to complete the integration and you're all set.

📌 Why this matters

This integration transforms PyCharm from a standard IDE into an AI-powered coding companion that suggests entire functions, completes complex logic patterns, and writes boilerplate code as you type. Beyond simple autocomplete, Copilot learns your coding style and project context, meaning it becomes more accurate at predicting what you're building.

The real advantage emerges when tackling unfamiliar APIs or frameworks—instead of constantly switching to documentation, you get contextual code examples generated directly in your editor, keeping you in flow state longer.
