GitHub Code Review
The first review shouldn’t take the longest.
Better together than either alone
Review bottlenecks slow teams down. Copilot takes the first pass so reviewers can focus on what matters most.
Copilot
Reviews the full changeset across files to flag bugs, security risks, and style issues. It suggests multi-line fixes you can apply in one click, comments directly on the lines that need attention, and can hand off suggestions to the Copilot cloud agent for autonomous resolution.
Your team
Brings architectural judgment, design perspective, and system context that only comes from building the software together. Your team mentors through discussion in the same thread, helps transfer knowledge, and owns final approval and accountability.
Review that reasons, remembers and adapts
Copilot reasons across files, learns your team’s conventions, and integrates with your existing toolchain.
Agentic code review
Copilot follows the logic of your change across functions and files, understands the intent behind it, and surfaces issues that line-by-line analysis would miss.

Reviews grounded in your codebase
Copilot can draw on custom instructions and Copilot Memory to understand your project's conventions, architecture, and context, so feedback reflects how your team actually builds.

Extensible to your workflow
Build custom agent skills or connect your own tools through MCP to tailor what Copilot reviews and how. Your standards, your tools, your way of working.

Code review is how your team thinks together
It’s where your team shares knowledge, makes design decisions, and builds shared ownership of the codebase.
Have the conversation where the code is
Keep discussion and feedback right next to the diffs so it's easier to stay in context while reviewing your PR.
Get the right eyes on every change
Route pull requests to the right people with review requests and code owners.
Understand the full picture
Rich diffs, blame, and commit history show what changed, who changed it, and why.
Code doesn’t merge until it’s ready
Fast, relevant results
Set a minimum number of approving reviews, whether Copilot or human, before any pull request can merge.

Protected branches
Control how code gets merged. Restrict who can push, require linear history, and prevent force pushes.

Required status checks
Ensure CI passes, tests are green, and automated gates clear before the merge button is enabled.
