AI BriefingGitHub Tutorial: Continue Copilot App Sessions Directly in VS Code
·2026.10.20 03:47
Key point
The feature preserves the session's task, plan, conversation, and isolated worktree, allowing users to review diffs and edit code without restarting the context.
Details
- GitHub Copilot app sessions can be opened directly in Visual Studio Code, preserving the conversation, code changes, and working context.
- The session moves with the worktree, so manual edits in VS Code build directly on the agent's work without copying files or recreating branches.
- Users can review the agent's diff line by line, ask Copilot to explain implementation choices, and continue prompting for further changes within the same session.
- The workflow supports local testing via the integrated terminal and browser, followed by committing and pushing changes to update the existing pull request.
- Prerequisites include the GitHub Copilot app, VS Code connected to the same GitHub account, and permission to push to the session's repository.
