GitHub Copilot: The Agent Awakens


Introducing agent mode for GitHub Copilot in VS Code, announcing the general availability of Copilot Edits, and providing a first look at our SWE agent.

When we introduced GitHub Copilot back in 2021, we had a clear goal: to make developers’ lives easier with an AI pair programmer that helps them write better code. They can perform various development tasks, like generating and reviewing code, refactoring or optimizing the codebase, automating workflows like tests or pipelines, and providing guidance on architecture, error troubleshooting, and best practices. Additionally, Copilot takes into account any discussion within the issue or PR, and any custom instruction within the repository, so it understands the full intent of its task, as well as the guidelines and conventions of the project.
