GitHub Copilot app is now available in technical preview

The GitHub Copilot app is now in technical preview. It’s a GitHub-native desktop experience to start agentic development from the work in front of you, keep it isolated, steer it as it goes, and land the change through pull request review.

🧭 Start from GitHub context

Your work already lives in GitHub. Sessions start from those artifacts too.

Open a session from real work. Start from an issue, pull request, prompt, or previous session.
See what needs attention. Use your inbox to find issues and pull requests across connected repositories.
Bring the context with you. Issue details, repository state, review comments, and checks stay connected to the session.

⚡ Work in focused sessions

Each session has its own space: branch, files, conversation, and task state. Work stays separated, even when you have more than one thing in motion.

Pause and resume. Leave a session and come back to it where you left off.
Work across projects. Keep separate tasks isolated across one repository or many.
Automate repeatable work. Turn skills and prompts into workflows for triage, dependency updates, release notes, cleanup, or routine pull requests.

✅ Steer, validate, and ship in one place

The work is not finished when code changes. It is finished when the change is reviewed, tested, and ready to merge.

Review the plan and diff. See what changed, leave feedback, and guide the next iteration.
Validate the change. Run commands, open previews, and test from the integrated terminal and browser.
Open the pull request. Move from session to pull request with the same reviews, checks, and merge requirements your team already uses.
Use Agent Merge for follow-through. Let it address review comments, fix failing checks, and merge once your conditions are met.

🚀 Get started

GitHub Copilot Pro and Pro+ subscribers can sign up for early access as the technical preview expands.

GitHub Copilot Business and Enterprise subscribers will get access as availability rolls out through the week. Once available for your organization or enterprise, you can get started from the GitHub Copilot app repository.

You can also read the GitHub Copilot app documentation to learn how to install the app, enable the required settings, and start your first session.

Note: To access the GitHub Copilot app technical preview on a Copilot Business or Enterprise plan, your organization or enterprise admin must have previews enabled and the Copilot CLI enabled in policy settings.
