Core capabilities

Turn ideas into Issues and track them with Projects.
Write code yourself or direct an agent to make changes in your repository.
Discuss changes in pull requests and request a review from GitHub Copilot.
Update vulnerable dependencies with Dependabot and address code scanning alerts with Copilot Autofix.

Repositories

GitHub repository showing folders, recent commits, and tabs for code, issues, pull requests, agents, and discussions.

Keep code and history alongside the instructions, skills, and integrations agents use. Repository permissions define what they can access and change.

Issues and Projects

Open GitHub issue tracking a brand refactor initiative, with one of three sub-issues completed.

Define work in Issues and track it in Projects. Assign an issue to Copilot when you want to delegate the work.

Pull requests and code review

GitHub pull request with Copilot selected as a reviewer and feedback flagged as needing attention.

Review changes with team feedback, checks, and approvals. Add agent reviews for broader coverage, then ask Copilot to address comments or failing checks.

GitHub Actions

Build, test, and publish checks have passed, and the pull request is ready to merge without conflicts.

Run automation from repository events and use workflow results as required checks before merge.

Agents on GitHub

Bring the agents you use

Use GitHub Copilot and third-party agents with repositories.

Connect agents to GitHub
