Autofixo do Copilot is an expansion of code scanning that provides you with targeted recommendations to help you fix code scanning alerts so you can avoid introducing new security vulnerabilities. The potential fixes are generated automatically by large language models (LLMs) using data from the codebase and from code scanning analysis.
How Autofixo do Copilot works
Autofixo do Copilot translates the description and location of an alert into code changes that may fix the alert. It interfaces with the large language model GPT-5.1 from OpenAI, which has sufficient generative capabilities to produce both suggested fixes in code and explanatory text for those fixes.
Enabling and managing Autofixo do Copilot
You do not need a subscription to GitHub Copilot to use Correção automática do GitHub Copilot. Autofixo do Copilot is available to all public repositories on GitHub.com, as well as internal or private repositories owned by organizations and enterprises that have a license for GitHub Code Security.
Autofixo do Copilot is allowed by default and enabled for every repository that uses CodeQL, regardless of whether it uses default or advanced setup for code scanning. There is no separate step to enable Autofixo do Copilot: enabling code scanning with CodeQL is sufficient. See Como definir a configuração padrão da verificação de código.
Administrators at the enterprise, organization, and repository levels can choose to disable Autofixo do Copilot. If Autofixo do Copilot has been disabled at your level, you can re-enable it by following the same steps used to disable it and selecting the option to allow Autofixo do Copilot. To learn how to manage Autofixo do Copilot at each level, see Desabilitar a correção automática do Copilot para alertas de segurança de verificação de código.
