GitHub is officially supporting the use of your Copilot Pro, Pro+, Business, or Enterprise subscription with OpenCode.

GitHub Copilot now fully supports authentication with OpenCode through a formal partnership, allowing you to use your existing Copilot subscription across more of your development workflow.

What is OpenCode?

OpenCode is an open‑source agent that helps you write code in your terminal, IDE, or desktop. You can learn more at OpenCode’s site.

How it works

Getting started with OpenCode and GitHub Copilot is simple:

  • In OpenCode, run /connect and select GitHub Copilot.
  • Complete the GitHub device login flow.
  • Start using OpenCode powered by Copilot.

Who can use this feature

All developers with paid GitHub Copilot subscriptions (Pro, Pro+, Business, or Enterprise) can now authenticate into OpenCode using their Copilot credentials—no additional AI license needed.
