Changes

• We have expanded the integration with GitHub's Copilot coding agent (enablement instructions). You can see the status of all your Coding Agent pull requests in the "Pull Requests" view, and you'll get a badge indicating when a pull request from the Coding Agent has changes.

• Links for viewing the Coding Agent session log now open within VS Code instead of opening in the browser.

• The #activePullRequest tool in Copilot chat now knows more about the active pull request: changes and Coding Agent session information. This tool is automatically attached to chat when opening a pull request created through the coding agent experience, so you can maintain the context and keep working on the pull request if needed to.

• When checking out a pull request which doesn't have any diff from the parent branch, the pull request description will be opened, instead of the changes when "githubPullRequests.focusedMode" is set to "multiDiff" or "firstDiff".

• You can start a new Coding Agent session by invoking the #copilotCodingAgent tool in chat. This tool automatically pushes pending changes to a remote branch and initiates a coding agent session from that branch along with the user's instruction. Experimental: Deeper UI integration can be enabled with the setting(githubPullRequests.codingAgent.uiIntegration) setting. Once enabled, a new Delegate to coding agent button appears in the Chat view for repositories that have the coding agent enabled.

Changes

• In preparation for the release of Project Padawan, we added support for assigning to Copilot in the issue webview and @-mentioning Copilot in comments within files.
• There's a new tool and context available in Copilot chat: #activePullRequest. This tool gives Copilot chat information about the pull request you have currently open in a webview (or checked out if no webview is open).

• The issue webview will show when an issue is opened from the "Issues" view or from the notifications view.

• We revisited the top level actions in the Notifications view to make it cleaner, and aligned the display of the Pull Requests view and the Issues view so that they're more consistent.

• There's a new warning before you try to create a pull request when there's already a pull request open for the same branch.

• Pull Request webviews and issue webviews are refreshed every 60 seconds when they are the active tab.
• The default action when adding a comment in a file is now to start a review rather than submit a single comment.
• There's a new action on the Notifications view to mark all pull request notifications with "trivial" updates as done. Enable the action with githubPullRequests.experimental.notificationsMarkPullRequests.
• Comment reactions are shown as readonly in the pull request webview (previously not shown at all).

Changes

• You can provide custom instructions for GitHub Copilot when generating pull request titles and descriptions using the setting github.copilot.chat.pullRequestDescriptionGeneration.instructions. You can point the setting to a file in your workspace, or you can provide instructions inline in your settings:

{
  "github.copilot.chat.pullRequestDescriptionGeneration.instructions": [
    {
      "text": "Prefix every PR title with an emoji."
    },
  ],
}
