“Automatically Repair Your Code Vulnerabilities with GitHub’s Cutting-Edge AI Tool”

Earlier today, Sentry announced its AI Autofix feature for debugging production code and now, a few hours later, GitHub is launching the first beta of its code scanning autofix feature for finding and fixing security vulnerabilities during the coding process. This new feature combines the real-time capabilities of GitHub’s Copilot with CodeQL, the company’s semantic code analysis engine. The company also promises that code scanning autofix will cover more than 90% of alert types in the languages it supports, which are currently JavaScript, Typescript, Java, and Python. “Just as GitHub Copilot relieves developers of tedious and repetitive tasks, code scanning autofix will help development teams reclaim time formerly spent on remediation,” GitHub writes in today’s announcement. To generate the fixes and their explanations, GitHub uses OpenAI’s GPT-4 model.

GitHub’s Enterprise Copilot Reaches General Release

GitHub today announced the general availability of Copilot Enterprise, the $39/month version of its code completion tool and developer-centric chatbot for large businesses. Many teams already keep their documentation in GitHub repositories today, making it relatively easy for Copilot to reason over it. On top of talking about today’s release, I also asked Dohmke about his high-level thinking of where Copilot is going next. “Different use cases require different models. We will continue going down that path of using the best models for the different pieces of the Copilot experience,” Dohmke said.
