What's your favorite new GitHub Copilot feature?

Martin Woodward shares his pick for a new GitHub Copilot feature: the GitHub Copilot app, which has shipped for everyone.

Overview

• Feature highlight: the GitHub Copilot app as a native desktop experience.
• Platforms: Windows and macOS.
• Focus: supporting agentic coding workflows that span:
  • GitHub Issues
  • Pull requests (PRs)
• Work isolation: the app runs work in separate Git worktrees so changes don’t collide.
• Automation execution:
  • Automations can run locally
  • Automations can run in the cloud
• Adoption note: Woodward mentions that 100% of GitHub’s lawyers now use Copilot.
