Github Copilot

Overview

This guide explains how to connect GitHub Copilot with DevStats so we can analyze Copilot usage signals and enrich engineering productivity insights.

This integration helps teams understand how AI-assisted development influences delivery speed, code changes, and workflow patterns.

Steps

  • In the sidebar, go to DevEx → GitHub Copilot Activity.

  • Choose how you want to authenticate with GitHub. There are three authentication modes:

  • OAuth2 Authenticate using OAuth2 to allow DevStats to securely access your GitHub data without sharing your password.

  • Personal Access TokenProvide a GitHub Classic Personal Access Token to authenticate the integration.

  • Fine-grained Token Provide a GitHub Fine-grained Personal Access Token to authenticate the integration.

  • Follow the on-screen steps based on the selected authentication mode.

  • Click Finish setup to complete the setup.

✅ Verify Integration

After saving, you’ll see a status indicating that data collection has started. Copilot data is processed asynchronously and may take several hours to appear, depending on organization size and activity level.

Once completed, Copilot insights will appear in the GitHub Copilot Activity report.
