Deploy managed Copilot settings via MDM in VS Code and CLI - GitHub C…

Enterprise administrators can now deliver managed GitHub Copilot settings directly to devices through native mobile device management (MDM) and file-based configuration, in addition to the existing server-managed channel, and this is generally available for GitHub Copilot CLI and VS Code. Device-level deployment lets administrators enforce Copilot governance using tools like Microsoft Intune, Jamf, or Group Policy, or deploy a configuration file with Chef, Puppet, or Ansible. Settings are read from the device and apply consistently across VS Code and Copilot CLI regardless of how a developer signs in. Delivery channels include Native MDM (using the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\GitHubCopilot registry key on Windows or managed preferences for the com.github.copilot domain on macOS), File-based (reading a managed-settings.json file from a well-known path, which must be owned by root and cannot be world-writable or symlinked), and Server-managed (resolving settings from the developer’s signed-in GitHub account via managed-settings.json in the organization’s .github-private repository). When more than one channel provides settings, the highest-precedence channel wins outright in this order: Native MDM, Server-managed, File-based. Supported settings include permissions.disableBypassPermissionsMode, model, enabledPlugins, extraKnownMarketplaces, strictKnownMarketplaces, and telemetry.* for OpenTelemetry export configuration.
