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 “, “Copilot “). 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
