The GitHub Copilot app is a desktop application for agent-driven development. It provides a single place to direct AI agents across parallel workstreams, work with GitHub issues and pull requests, and manage the full development lifecycle.
Key capabilities:
- Parallel workspaces: Multiple isolated agent sessions, each with dedicated git worktree and branch
- Cloud sandboxes (public preview) hosted by GitHub
- GitHub integration: Browse issues, create/close PRs, review PRs, view CI results
- Session modes: Interactive, Plan, or Autopilot with model selection
Built on GitHub Copilot CLI with native GitHub integration. Repositories, branches, and CI pipelines work out of the box.
