What happened

GitHub added code review fields to its Copilot usage metrics API. Each repository row now shows how many Copilot review comments developers acted on, and how many pull requests merged without a later change request from a person.

Why it matters

Administrators can see whether developers act on Copilot's review feedback, which kinds of comments get acted on, and whether custom instructions make a difference. Organizations gain a clearer picture of how the tool is used.

What to do

  • Read the new fields if you manage Copilot for your organization.
  • Check that the Copilot usage metrics policy is enabled.
