The next frontier of agentic development is here, and you are in control.
Today we announced releases that will keep you in the flow with your agents, all on the GitHub platform. ⬇️
Stay connected to your Copilot CLI sessions from anywhere.
GitHub Mobile now supports live notifications for remote Copilot CLI sessions. Track progress, know when input is needed, and jump back into session logs to unblock right from your phone.
Get faster, more reliable coding sessions in GitHub Copilot CLI.
We implemented smarter subagent delegation that cut tool failures 23%, search failures 27%, and edit failures 18%, with no quality regression.
With GitHub Issue Fields, you can add structured, typed metadata (like priority, effort, dates, and custom values) to issues across your repos. Get key details at a glance without opening each issue.
GitHub Issue Fields are now generally available to everyone. 🎉
"Code is the language that we use to understand physics." 💻 ⚛️
With billions of particle collisions happening at the Large Hadron Collider, @CERN research fellow Batoul Diab explains why software developers are more crucial to modern science than ever before.
New open source dataset for your next build. 📊
The GitHub Multilingual Repositories Dataset spans 40M+ repos and 80M+ classification rows, showing where non-English READMEs, issues, and PRs live.
Korean tops issue text; Portuguese tops READMEs (3M+ repos).
The result: roughly 20% lower average review cost, while maintaining the same review quality. ✅
The bigger lesson: for an agent, tool instructions are as load-bearing as your API docs.
Here's how we traced the regression to the instructions ⬇️
We swapped Copilot code review onto the same shared tools that power the Copilot CLI (grep, glob, view), expecting a clean upgrade. Instead, reviews did more work and caught fewer issues. 👀
📣 @OpenAIDevs's GPT-5.6 family is now generally available and rolling out in GitHub Copilot.
GPT-5.6 comes in three variants:
☀️ GPT-5.6 Sol: the highest reasoning ceiling in the family. Best for complex reasoning over large codebases and demanding, long-running agentic work.
