You can search for code or enable syntax highlighting based on any language known to GitHub. For more information, see [Understanding GitHub Code Search syntax](/en/enterprise-cloud@latest/search-github/github-code-search/understanding-github-code-search-syntax#language-qualifier) or [Creating and highlighting code blocks](/en/enterprise-cloud@latest/get-started/writing-on-github/working-with-advanced-formatting/creating-and-highlighting-code-blocks#syntax-highlighting).\n\nSome GitHub products have features that are currently only supported for a subset of programming languages.\n\nCore languages for GitHub features include C, C++, C#, Go, Java, JavaScript, Kotlin, PHP, Python, Ruby, Rust, Scala, and TypeScript. For features that support package managers, the currently supported package managers are included in the table with their relevant languages.\n\nSome features are supported for additional languages or package managers. If you want to know whether another language is supported for a feature or to request support for a language, visit [GitHub Community discussions](https://github.com/orgs/community/discussions).\n\n\n\n## Core languages supported in GitHub.com and GitHub Enterprise Cloud\n\n| Language | [GitHub Copilot](/en/enterprise-cloud@latest/copilot/about-github-copilot/what-is-github-copilot) | [Code navigation](/en/enterprise-cloud@latest/repositories/working-with-files/using-files/navigating-code-on-github) | [Code scanning](/en/enterprise-cloud@latest/code-security/code-scanning/introduction-to-code-scanning/about-code-scanning) | [Dependency graph, Dependabot alerts](/en/enterprise-cloud@latest/code-security/supply-chain-security/understanding-your-software-supply-chain/dependency-graph-supported-package-ecosystems#supported-package-ecosystems) | [Dependabot version updates, Dependabot security updates](/en/enterprise-cloud@latest/code-security/dependabot/dependabot-version-updates/about-dependabot-version-updates#supported-repositories-and-ecosystems) | [GitHub Actions](/en/enterprise-cloud@latest/actions/automating-builds-and-tests/about-continuous-integration#supported-languages) | [GitHub Packages](/en/enterprise-cloud@latest/packages/learn-github-packages/introduction-to-github-packages#supported-clients-and-formats) |\n| :--------- | :-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------: | :------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------: | :------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------: | :------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------: | :---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------: | :--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------: | :-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------: |\n| C | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✗ | ✗ | ✓ | ✗ |\n| C++ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✗ | ✗ | ✓ | ✗ |\n| C# | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | `dotnet` CLI | `dotnet` CLI | ✓ | `dotnet` CLI |\n| Go | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | Go modules | Go modules | ✓ | ✗ |\n| Java | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | Maven, Gradle | Maven, Gradle | ✓ | Maven, Gradle |\n| JavaScript | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | npm, Yarn | npm | ✓ | npm |\n| Kotlin | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | Maven, Gradle | Maven, Gradle | ✓ | Maven, Gradle |\n| PHP | ✓ | ✓ | third-party [^1] | Composer | Composer | ✓ | ✗ |\n| Python | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | pip | pip | ✓ | ✗ |\n| Ruby | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | RubyGems | RubyGems | ✓ | RubyGems |\n| Rust | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✗ |\n| Scala | ✓ | ✓ | third-party [^1] | Maven | Maven, Gradle | ✓ | ✗ |\n| Swift | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | Swift Package Manager |\n| TypeScript | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | npm, Yarn | npm | ✓ | npm |\n\n> \\[!NOTE]\n> The language support for GitHub Copilot varies depending on the volume and diversity of training data for that language.\n> The support of Gradle for the dependency graph and Dependabot alerts is limited to the upload of data obtained using the dependency submission API.\n\n[^1]: PHP and Scala are supported for code scanning by third-party actions, but not by CodeQL."}
