How does GitHub Copilot compare to Cursor?
GitHub Copilot is an extension that adds AI completions and chat to your existing IDE. Cursor is a standalone AI-first editor (VS Code fork) with deeper codebase understanding, multi-file editing (Composer), and custom rules. Copilot integrates everywhere; Cursor offers a more immersive AI-native experience.
Is GitHub Copilot free for students?
Yes. Verified students, teachers, and open-source maintainers get GitHub Copilot Individual for free through the GitHub Student Developer Pack or the open-source maintainer program. Apply at education.github.com with a valid school email or proof of open-source contributions.
Does GitHub Copilot work with private repositories?
Yes. Copilot Individual works with any code in your editor, including private repos. Copilot Business and Enterprise add organization-wide controls: your code is not used to train public models, and admins can manage policies, seat assignments, and usage analytics across private repositories.
