Github Copilot integration with RStudio #10148
Comments
|
@kojix2 Thank you for the suggestion! I'm not aware of current plans to support, but we'll keep this in mind for consideration. In the meantime, FWIW, one of the ways to increase likelihood of new enhancements is to get more thumbs-ups in the original post (there's one already). |
|
I found two posts in the discussion section of github/feedback requesting a Copilot for RStudio. |

Man, we really need this! Especially now that it's been released to all developers! |
|
Yes, it would be really great if we can use the copliot in R studio. |
|
R is a great language and it definitely deserves more attention from copilot developers. |
|
Bring it on! |
|
Totally want this. Stats community (Python and R) both need representation |
|
+1. Enabling copilot through RStudio would be great for the community, but there's another arguably more important strategic reason. If code suggestions "become a thing" that changes how we code forever (still to be seen, but possible), it behooves the R community to write a bunch of R code using copilot (and whatever else may come) to improve the prediction accuracy. One of R's strengths vs python is that it's easy to use, what w/ the tidyverse, better documentation/examples, less brittle in terms of R/package versions etc. It's just "easier". But if we can add code suggestions to Python and R falls behind because it's not widely implemented, and when it is, the predictions suck... I think we might see a shift to where people think Python is easier to use. I don't want to conflate R with RStudio, but I do think it's safe to say that RStudio is one of the most popular IDEs for R, and thus provides a solid steer to the whole community. |
Some really interesting points. I agree having Rstudio only without Copilot is not a bad problem to have. It's much easier to learn and use for ad hoc analyses python. I don't use R for anything production. I work as a consultant and like to use it to explore and validate or rule out theories among the team ad hoc. |
|
Just to clarify, that isn't my point at all... I, like many others, write R code in production all the time. But that's not the point of this post, we are discussing Copilot integration with RStudio. |
|
I investigated this a little yesterday, and I'm somewhat skeptical it can be done on our end. Copilot is proprietary Microsoft technology, and all of the existing editor extensions are written by Microsoft. There is no documentation or API that would permit us to write our own Copilot integration. There are third-party Copilot extensions available, but they work by ahem "borrowing" binaries from the official extensions (see, for example: https://github.com/zerolfx/copilot.el ) This is almost certainly contrary to Copilot's licensing terms. So we would need permission from Microsoft to do this, and if granted permission would also need access to their internal APIs to develop our own client or borrow one of theirs. Not insurmountable, probably, but also not a weekend project. |

How's about Tabnine @jmcphers |
|
Also... if we can't use Copilot, maybe we can use codex, which is the software underlying Copilot? They say they are looking for partnerships with companies. |
|
Please do it, integrating Copilot with RStudio would be awesome. |
Hola, hasta ahora no he oido ni se de alguna intención de implementar copilot en Rstudio, por ello es que uso intellij idea para trabajar con r, la integración con copilot es la mejor y el trabajo se pontencia a miles; desde que he migrado a intellij para trabajar con R he encontrado gran cantidad de ventajas, practicamente he dejado de lado a rstudio, en serio te recomiendo usar intellij u otra IDE como puede ser VS code. |
|
This feature is very much needed |
|
R need it and deserve it! |
|
I come back to this at least once every two weeks hoping to see a glimpse of an update. I am running data science tasks in Python way more now specifically because VSCode has CoPilot and RStudio does not. |
|
I also think this is very needed |
|
Any update on this? |
|
It is technically possible... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZRkc3gVeaBI Would be nice if R studio could match the capabilities of other IDEs as it is our preffered one |
|
@wolass the problem isn't R. Read the discussion above. |
|
I know that we can use it inside visual studio code, but I would prefer to use it inside R Studio. |
|
try the {gpttools} package https://github.com/JamesHWade/gpttools |
This seems likely. Currently, RStudio is only synchronizing the files currently open with the Copilot instance -- we should probably consider whether we could synchronize other project R files. |

Hey all! Based on upvotes, this request is more popular than the next five requests combined. As @kevinushey mentioned above, the integration between RStudio and GitHub Copilot is now available. It's still in development and QA, but if you're eager to try It out, check out the latest Desert Sunflower daily builds at dailies.rstudio.com. Please note that these builds are meant for test and development purposes only, not production. If you find a bug or have an enhancement request, please open a new issue. If you'd like to first check if it's already a known issue, you can search for all issues with the You can take advantage of Copilot in RStudio by turning it on with Tools -> Global Options -> Copilot -> Enable Github Copilot

Hello, due to an oversight, I logged into an account without obtaining copilot authorization, and at this moment, I am unable to log out of the account.
|
|
I have the exact same issue as @Ljie03. Not sure how to logout or fix this issue. At the bottom of my script, R is also telling me I am not signed in... |
|
@Ljie03 and @truenomad Can you please open a new issue for this? Thanks! |
|
Dear @ronblum and @kevinushey, thank you for supporting Copilot. |
|
Excited about trying this. The github account I was using doesn't yet have CoPilot - which caused this spinner to spin forever:
VS Code gives a better error: Don't know if this is worth reporting as an issue? |
|
Thanks - linking #13444 13444 |
|
I have already switched to VS Code for all my coding activities. I do all my coding in VS Code and when the script is working, I copy/paste the code into RStudio for project management and stuff. Having GitHub Copilot integration in RStudio would be a boon. Please make it happen. Pleeeeeease!!!! |
|
@fgashakamba Integration with GitHub Copilot is available in the upcoming release of RStudio Desktop on a preview basis #10148 (comment), and it will be availble in RStudio Server in a future release. |
|
Hello, I am very glad for the integration, I tested on the dev version and thought it was really useful. Just a question, do we have an estimate on when the next release of RStudio is coming, and what does "preview basis" mean? Again, thanks! |
I have installed the nightly build and can confirm that Copilot is working fine. Thank you for the developers. |
I believe this should already be resolved in the latest daily builds; can you test and confirm? If not, please file a new issue -- thanks! |
|
I installed v2023.09.0+463 rstudio server build but can't find information on how to enable copilot server-wide. Does anyone know? Thanks so much to the developers! |
I take that back... https://docs.posit.co/ide/user/ide/guide/tools/copilot.html says it should work I think 👍 Try the steps:
from #13718 - mentioned in copilot_enabled but I can't find any other info on it... |
|
No, not true. If youre running linux, go to the rsession. In Ubuntu on my system it's /etc/rstudio/rsession.conf sudo rstudio-server restart |
Thanks - had already corrected - see above :) |
|
Awesome to see the progress here! I was able to get copilot enabled in the latest Rstudio Server release ( |
|
@tgjohnst There shouldn't be any more settings needed. What are you seeing at the bottom of the editor windows after clicking on it? Such as |
|
@ronblum I very briefly see 
|
|
In the R Markdown and Quarto files, what happens if you hit Enter/Return and start typing something? I always like to start with Also, switch to source mode. Visual mode is misleading: It's not currently providing suggestions (#13427). |
|
@ronblum thanks for linking that other issue - the visual mode issue was the culprit here. Switching to source mode resulted in suggestions working fine within my quarto notebook. |

Is there a way to set a short cut in RStudio to toggle on/off Github Copilot? Copilot is great, but sometimes it's quite annoying when I have to just stare at my code while thinking and then Copilot just shows an entire chunk of code where I was reading the original code, making it very difficult to work with. That functionality would be way better than having to click Tools -> Globla options -> Copilot -> Enable/Disable Copilot or to use the Command Palette Ctrl+Shift+P, search for “Enable GitHub Copilot” and then uncheck “Enable GitHub Copilot”. |
We can set up our own shortcuts using Tools->Modify Keyboard Shortcuts... but I don't think there's a convenient "toggle copilot" command to assign there currently: |
Yeah I tried to do that with the "Copilot: Request Completions" command, but didn't get the result. |
and others
Hi!
Are there any plans to make Github Copilot available in RStudio?
RStudio is definitely a great development environment. It's just a pity that Copilot is not available.
I've been using Copilot with the Ruby language for the past 1-2 weeks and I'm convinced that I can't imagine programming without an aid like Copilot for the next decade.
I found several threads in the community mentioning copilot, but they were all closed.
