@chriscct7 chriscct7 commented Oct 2, 2024

Why:

Clarifies that the limits are per person, ie 50 repo index limit for each licensed Copilot Business user not 50 repos for the entire GitHub Organization.

What's being changed (if available, include any code snippets, screenshots, or gifs):

Updates the title with (Per Individual) to clarify the license limits are individual.

Important Note

Someone at GitHub should confirm this is true first. I can't test the 50 limits because one of the known limitations around indexing is that there is currently no way to de-index them

Check off the following:

  • I have reviewed my changes in staging, available via the View deployment link in this PR's timeline (this link will be available after opening the PR).
  • For content changes, I have completed the self-review checklist. (See note above)

@chriscct7 Thank you so much for your patience while our SME team reviewed! ✨

Our SMEs informed us the repo indexing limits are for the overarching subscription holder, not each individual licensed user (for example, for Copilot Business, the organization or enterprise with the subscription can index a total of 50 repos, rather than each licensed CB user being able to index any 50 repos they choose).

This distinction currently only matters for Copilot Business, since CI is for personal accounts and CE has no indexing limit. We still feel some clarity should be added to the docs regarding these limits!

If you're able to update your PR with this information, we'll be happy to get this merged! 💛

Wanted to double check this because if I'm understanding this correctly, wouldn't that mean that if an Org has 5 or more members it would be better to have people individually buy copilot than using business licensing, particularly as there's no way for a business to pick which repos (or remove/manage repos) are indexed?

Updated the PR to match that (I think this is the best way of doing it?)
