  Keep an eye out for emails from noreply@githubnext.com

  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

  How long did it take others to get access? I signed up before 27th of March
