Open to any GitHub account. Verified students get the full Copilot Pro tier free through the GitHub Student Developer Pack instead of this capped free plan.
GitHub gives every account 2,000 AI code completions and 50 chat requests a month on Copilot, permanently free.
What you get
- 2,000 code completions per month across supported editors
- 50 chat requests per month, including in VS Code and JetBrains IDEs
- No credit card required to activate
Who qualifies
Any GitHub account, free or paid. Verified students should snag the full Copilot Pro tier through the GitHub Student Developer Pack instead — it removes the monthly caps.
How to claim
- Open the link below and sign in to (or create) a GitHub account.
- Enable Copilot Free in your GitHub account settings.
- Install the Copilot extension in your editor and sign in.
The catch
The 2,000 completions and 50 chat requests reset monthly and don't roll over — once you hit the cap, completions pause until the next cycle unless you upgrade to a paid tier.
