Been trying out Copilot coding agent? There are a few tips and tricks to get the most out of it, including scoping your issues well, having Copilot custom instructions, and Copilot setup steps.

It's a great privilege to make some of the videos behind GitHub's launches, but I think I've enjoyed this one the most. With Copilot coding agent, you can now assign Copilot tasks that it can work on in the background. Take a look!

Come hang out as we continue building a GitHub CLI extension. Join me at 10:30 am GMT on GitHub’s LinkedIn, Twitch or YouTube at gh.io/rubberduckthursdays

Based on last weeks votes, I think we’ll likely play with GitHub Actions, Codespaces and Copilot today ☺️🚀

Some much overdue TLC on my personal site chrisreddington.com - Fixed a few UI and design issues, with some help from #GitHubCopilot including #CopilotChat and #CopilotEdits - Maybe a video coming soon!

Was also a good opportunity for an end-of-2024 cleanup and content update :)
