Re:Ask HN: Did anyone already got access to GitHub Copilot X? by mitchellpkt on Sunday April 16, 2023 @12:28PM (#35591478)
Keep an eye out for emails from [email protected]

On 27-Mar 2023 I registered for some of the "X" waitlists.

On 13-Apr 2023 I received an email with the subject line "Welcome to the Copilot for CLI technical preview!"

Note that the "X" is a placeholder and not one of the actual products you can try. From their website [1]:

> The “X” represents a placeholder for where we intend GitHub Copilot to become available, and what we expect it to be capable of doing (e.g. “Copilot <for pull requests>“, “Copilot <for security>“). It is extending the product from one experience, code completion, to X experiences across the developer’s workflow.

while you're waiting, maybe you'll be interested in checking https://refact.ai it's an open-source alternative to Copilot X with features like code transformation and integrated chat on top of code completion
