Today, we’re excited to introduce repository templates to make boilerplate code management and distribution a first-class citizen on GitHub. All you need to do is mark a repository as a template, and you’ll immediately be able to use it to generate new repositories.
This is the 6th launch from Github Repository Template. View more
Github Copilot Agent Mode
Coding Autonomously
GitHub Copilot Agent Mode (Preview) is the autonomous coding feature in VS Code Insiders. Copilot plans, codes, runs tests, and fixes errors – all driven by your natural language requests.
Hi everyone!
Sharing something really exciting: GitHub Copilot Agent Mode, now available in VS Code Insiders! This is a major step towards truly autonomous AI-powered coding.
Essentially, you give Copilot a high-level goal in natural language, and it handles the implementation details, including running terminal commands. You stay in control, reviewing changes and approving command execution.
This is a preview, so expect it to evolve, but it's already a glimpse into the future of software development.
@zac_zuo does this directly integrates with github issues, as we are seeing with copilot workspaces? That's where clear goals in natural language live, so I think it makes sense for the agent to start from there? :)
The ability to give Copilot a high-level goal and have it handle implementation details (including terminal commands) makes it feel much closer to a true AI coding assistant rather than just a smart autocomplete.
Technically, now we have a Tech Intern that does our work according to what we need, great :)

@zac_zuo Congrats! Great tool advancement
Can't find it in VSCode. Anyone know where it is? 😅
@sentry_co Is your VSCode the Insiders version?
@sentry_co Agent mode is now available on insiders version, but is supposed to expand to all versions soon.
