Which new release are you most excited for? 👀

Today, we're announcing plans to make VS Code an open source AI editor. We believe AI development should stay true to VS Code's core principles: open, collaborative, and community-driven. Let's build the future of software development together. https://lnkd.in/gtQtnqWH

GitHub Copilot now has a coding agent embedded right where you already collaborate with developers: on GitHub. And yes, you can access it from VS Code too. 🤖 When you assign one or more issues to Copilot, it responds with a 👀 reaction and spins up a secure sandbox using GitHub Actions. It clones the repo, configures the environment, and analyzes the codebase with RAG powered by GitHub code search. The coding agent can use local tools and MCP servers, configured by you. As the agent works, it regularly commits its changes to a draft pull request and updates the pull request’s description. It can only push to its own branch, while existing policies like branch protection still apply in exactly the way you’d expect. And of course, nothing goes out without human approval – because the human developer is always the one in control. Using state-of-the-art models, the agent excels at low-to-medium complexity tasks in well-tested codebases, from adding features and fixing bugs to extending tests, refactoring code, and improving documentation. This is all about keeping you in the magical flow state that inspired your love for coding in the first place ✨ Built around an integrated, secure and fully customizable development environment powered by GitHub Actions, the Copilot coding agent is amplifying human developers with trust by design. And these protections aren’t just for us: as the new home of AI agents, we’re making the same primitives available to partners to ensure an open ecosystem for agentic peer programming. https://lnkd.in/et-K4-S6
