I wonder how this works under the hood and if it is significantly compromises security - no technical details in the article

It’s an incredible map - so many fun memories!

Tim from the Copilot coding agent team here. We've now disabled these tips in pull requests created by or touched by Copilot, so you won't see this happen again for future PRs. We'…

> Reviewing AI output all day without the dopamine of creation is not a sustainable job description. I agree that reducing engineers’ careers to code review will lead to burnout (a…

That would be the normal pattern. But you could certainly stop after the LLM picks the tool and provides the arguments, and not present the result back to the model.

The claim in the quote here is simply not true. The travel agency is the one that collects your personal information - but it (unsurprisingly) immediately passes just about everyth…

GitHub PM here. We have tried this, but we weren't able to get results that we were satisfied with. Of course, you have to revisit these things regularly, as the models and wider s…

Tim from the GitHub Copilot coding agent product team here! @artdigital is on the money here. Our quick tip for beginners is to use `copilot-instructions.md` (which we can now gene…

PM for GitHub Copilot coding agent here! Our asynchronous coding agent can run Docker in its GitHub Actions-powered development environment - for example it could start a Dockerize…

Interestingly, the title refers to citizens but the body only refers to residents: > the AWS European Sovereign Cloud is operated only by personnel who are European Union (EU) resi…

The #5 contributor thing is a stat from a single repository where we’re building Copilot coding agent.

Humans are indeed in slots #1-4. After hearing feedback from the community, we’re planning to share more on the GitHub Blog about how we’re using Copilot coding agent at GitHub. Wa…

At the moment, we're using Claude 3.7 Sonnet - but we're keeping our options open to experiment with other models and potentially bring in a model picker. (Source: I'm on the produ…

Don't worry - this is 100% opt in. We've just added the ability to assign Copilot to an issue from `gh issue edit` and other similar commands. (Source: I'm on the product team for …

As we've built Copilot coding agent, we've put a lot of thought and work into our security story. One of the things we've done here is to treat Copilot's commits like commits from …

Thanks for flagging this! That isn't a behavior I've seen before in testing, and I'd love to dig into it more to see what's happening. Would you be able to drop me an email? My add…

At the moment, we're using Claude 3.7 Sonnet, but we're keeping our options open to change the model down the line, and potentially even to introduce a model picker like we have fo…

The "1,000 pull requests contributed by Copilot" datapoint is specifically referring to Copilot coding agent over the past 2.5 months. Pretty much every developer at GitHub is usin…

But would you rather get paid to spend your time doing the interesting and enjoying work, or the mundane and boring stuff? ;) My hope is that agents like Copilot can help us burn d…

Nice idea! We're going to try to get together a blog post in the next couple of weeks on how we're using Copilot coding agent at GitHub - including to build Copilot coding agent ;)…

Copilot only does work that has been assigned to it by a developer, and all the code that the agent writes has to go through a pull request before it can be merged. In fact, Copilo…

Great question! We started with Pro+ and Enterprise first because of the higher number of premium requests included with the monthly subscription. Whilst we've seen great results w…

What I'm most excited about is allowing developers to spend more of their time working on the work they enjoy, and less of their time working on mundane, boring or annoying tasks. …
