enhancement: support ghe.com copilot auth #355
Description
I saw the X post and the PR in respect to bringing GitHub Copilot to the providers list, great stuff. I note it doesn't cover ghe.com and wondered if that was something being considered?

open to supporting it - just not sure what's involved. does copilot even work with GHE?
dotned commentedon Jun 25, 2025
Yes, we use ghe.com, GitHub Enterprise with Data Residency, and have CoPilot enabled. It's the same as the normal github.com setup with one small but significant difference. The url is customer specific. e.g. https://company.ghe.com
This means the URLs look like...
https://company.ghe.com/login/device/code
https://company.ghe.com/login/oauth/access_token
https://company.ways.ghe.com/copilot_internal/v2/token
I tried to see if I could authenticate without changing anything but these URLs in code and it worked. The issue will be in asking the user for thier "company" name as that is the dynamic element.
IDEs allow this connection a few ways but essentially asking for the Enterprise URL, https://docs.github.com/en/copilot/managing-copilot/configure-personal-settings/using-github-copilot-with-an-account-on-ghecom

It would be amazing if this functionality was added. As already mentioned, just giving the user ability to set the URL to GitHub, eg.
GITHUB_HOSTto whatever they have. You can also get this context outIt's worth mentioning that what @dotned is talking about is GitHub Enterprise Cloud, not GitHub Enterprise Server. There's a lot of confusion around naming for the different products in GitHub. To the best of my knowledge these are sort of the products that exists:
GitHub Enterprise Cloud: GitHub Enterprise on GitHub.com, often using the abbreviationGHECGitHub Enterprise Cloud with Data Residency: GitHub Enterprise on GHE.com, often using the abbreviationGHECDRGitHub Enterprise Server: Self-hosted GitHub Enterprise, often abbreviated asGHESFortinFred commentedon Jul 20, 2025
@dotned I would be interested in the code workaround, where specifically did you changed it in the code? Are you using a clone install or
npm?Thanks
dotned commentedon Jul 22, 2025
@FortinFred I pulled the code and updated the values directly in the github-copilot.ts file, and ran locally

Why is this closed? Was there an official solution instead of that TypeScript hack? We need this exact thing too.
