Visual Studio Code hosts a conversation with Elijah King and Thoa Nguyen about practical AI-assisted design workflows in real codebases, including using VS Code with GitHub Copilot (CLI/chat/models), plan mode, parallel sessions, and worktrees to prototype and collaborate with engineers.

simonjj walks through migrating a real Node.js + Redis Heroku app to Azure Container Apps in about 90 minutes, including service mapping, containerization, CLI-driven deployment, and common gotchas. The post also highlights how GitHub Copilot and Azure AI Foundry can support migration and future AI-native workloads.

Allison explains a GitHub Copilot coding agent update: agent-authored commits now include an Agent-Logs-Url trailer that links each commit back to the agent session logs, improving traceability for code review and auditing.

Allison explains how to use the GitHub Copilot extension for Raycast to monitor Copilot coding agent tasks and view live agent logs directly from Raycast, including what Copilot plans support the feature and when an admin must enable it.

Allison explains updates to GitHub Copilot coding agent session logs, making it easier for developers to see setup progress, understand custom environment steps, and track subagent activity while the agent works in the background.

David Ortinau (guest post from Syncfusion) explains how the .NET MAUI team’s custom AI agents—run via GitHub Copilot CLI—speed up issue reproduction, test creation, PR review, and fix exploration, cutting per-issue time by 50–70% while improving test coverage and review quality.

Allison shares an update that GitHub Copilot coding agent now starts work 50% faster, improving how quickly developers can hand off tasks like creating or iterating on pull requests via issues, the Agents tab, or @copilot comments.

Allison announces general availability of GitHub Projects’ hierarchy view and related Issues/Projects improvements, including how to assign GitHub Copilot via issue templates and new behavior for maintainer-only blank issues.

Brady Gaster explains how Squad, a GitHub Copilot-based open source project, coordinates multiple AI agents directly inside a repository using inspectable patterns like versioned decision logs, specialist routing, and PR-based collaboration rather than opaque orchestration layers.

Microsoft Fabric Blog announces general availability of the Microsoft Fabric Extensibility Toolkit, outlining what developers and partners get in the Starter Kit, how workload “items” integrate with Fabric/OneLake, and what’s coming next (CI/CD, lifecycle notifications, and remote jobs), including GitHub Copilot and Codespaces support.

Allison explains how GitHub Copilot’s coding agent runs automated validation (tests, linting, and security checks like CodeQL and secret scanning) and how repo admins can configure which checks the agent executes in repository settings.

Allison announces GitHub Copilot’s new long-term support (LTS) commitment for enterprise customers, starting with GPT-5.3-Codex, including availability dates, base-model rollout timing, and how model approvals and pricing multipliers work for Copilot Business and Copilot Enterprise.

Visual Studio Code shares a hands-on video with Burke Holland and James Montemagno that builds a GitHub Copilot SDK project from scratch, focusing on what you need to get started with the Copilot SDK and related tooling.

GitHub shares advanced GitHub Copilot CLI tips from Evan Boyle, focusing on querying a local SQLite database to inspect session history, recover context from prior bug fixes, and review prompting habits to improve future terminal commands.

In this Microsoft news post, stclarke outlines what’s new across Microsoft Fabric and SQL at FabCon/SQLCon 2026, including Database Hub, OneLake updates, Fabric analytics runtime improvements, Fabric IQ’s semantic layer, and new developer tooling like Fabric MCP that can connect GitHub Copilot to Fabric.

John Savill's Technical Training walks through installing and using GitHub Copilot CLI plus the Work IQ plugin, including prerequisites (PowerShell 7, Windows Terminal, Node.js), login/auth steps, and examples of interactive and non-interactive agentic CLI usage.

Microsoft Fabric Blog summarizes FabCon | SQLCon announcements focused on Microsoft Fabric and Azure databases: a new Database Hub for unified estate management, new SQL database in Fabric capabilities (migration, security, configuration), Cosmos DB mirroring updates, and developer tooling like GitHub Copilot in SSMS 22.

Microsoft Fabric Blog outlines what’s shipping across Fabric Analytics—Spark performance work, Fabric Data Warehouse updates, Power BI semantic modeling improvements, and Fabric Data Agents—plus a new open-source “Agent Skills for Fabric” integration for GitHub Copilot CLI.

Visual Studio Code explains how Agent Skills let you package reusable instructions and resources for a coding agent in VS Code, load them on demand, and invoke them from chat via slash commands like /skill-name.
