GitHub Copilot Has Over 15 Million Users

As part of today’s earnings report, Microsoft revealed that GitHub Copilot now has over 15 million users, thanks to 4x growth year-over-year (YOY).

“This momentum was made possible by the dedication of our employees, VS Code and GitHub teams being committed to rapidly evolving our product with sustained velocity,” GitHub’s Thomas Dohmke writes. “Year to date, we’ve posted 85 changelogs for GitHub Copilot, from MCP support to bring your own key or next edit suggestions – and we’re not stopping there.”

GitHub released Code review and other new features for GitHub Copilot in early April, and now it says that Code review has already handled over 8 million pull requests. This is a really cool feature–it’s like what the Cursor AI editor does, by evaluating an entire project–but I’d love to see it in Visual Studio 2022 (and not just Code).

Dohmke says that GitHub will have more GitHub and GitHub Copilot news at Build 2024, which gets underway on May 19 in Seattle. I’m looking forward to it. GitHub Copilot is a clear leader in AI coding, and it’s been indispensable to my .NETpad work this year.
