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.
