Configuring automatic code review

To apply standards consistently, you can configure {% data variables.copilot.copilot_code-review_short %} to run automatically on all pull requests opened across your enterprise or in specific repositories.

  1. Create an enterprise-level branch ruleset. See AUTOTITLE.
  2. Target the organizations and repositories where {% data variables.copilot.copilot_code-review_short %} should run automatically. You may want to start with a small selection of repositories and run a trial to collect feedback.
  3. Enable the Automatically request {% data variables.copilot.copilot_code-review_short %} policy.
  4. Optionally, enable the additional settings. By reviewing on every push and reviewing draft pull requests, you will add consistency to the review process. However, you will also create more noise for developers. If you're running a pilot, consider starting with the basic setting to allow developers to get used to the new process first.
  5. Click Create.

Customizing reviews

Encourage organization and repository administrators to create custom instructions for {% data variables.copilot.copilot_code-review_short %} so that reviews will be tailored to your coding standards and conventions. See AUTOTITLE.
