Copilot Chat unlocks new repository management skills

Copilot Chat in github.com is significantly more powerful for repository workflows, unlocking a range of new capabilities directly in chat:

• Create, update, and push files: Describe changes to code, READMEs, or other project files, and Copilot Chat will create or update files for you, saving time and reducing context switching.
• Create branches: Start new features or experiments using Copilot Chat.
• Merge pull requests: Ask Copilot Chat for help with merging code changes.

To get started, try asking Copilot:

• “Add a new section to the README describing how to contribute.”
• “Start a branch for the bug fix described in issue #123.”
• “Can you merge the open PR for the feature/signup branch?”

Your entire GitHub workflow now lives where your ideas are born. From concept to deployment, all within your ongoing conversation. Try it out today!
