Unlock the full MCP spec, extend agent mode with popular servers, and manage everything in the unified MCP view and gallery. 💬 GitHub Copilot Chat is now open source. Explore, contribute, and build on top of the Copilot Chat extension. MIT licensed and ready for community innovation. ⚙️ Smarter chat modes. Personalize your workflow with custom modes, model selection, validation, and easy import. 🤖 Copilot coding agent now manages background tasks, tracks its own terminals and tasks, reads outputs, avoids duplicates, and keeps your context sharp. ✍️ Edit previous chat requests (experimental): quickly revise and resubmit past prompts without starting from scratch. 🖱️ Click and drag with middle click to smoothly scroll through your code in the editor. 🔎 Read the full release notes: https://lnkd.in/gc3KgR66 Happy coding! 💙

Visual Studio Code reposted this
Every idea starts with a Spark✨ First shown at Universe 2024, GitHub Spark takes you from idea to deployment in minutes. And it’s available today for all Copilot Pro+ users. Just prompt GitHub Spark in natural language and it spins up a full-stack app, leveraging Claude Sonnet 4 to create the app and Microsoft Azure to host it. Spark not only uses an LLM to create the app, it can also integrate one to make your app more intelligent. Ask Spark to add AI capabilities and it can integrate chatbots, content generation, and other intelligent features using models from OpenAI, Meta, DeepSeek, xAI and more – no API key management needed. It all flows right back to the GitHub platform, where all your code already lives. Open a repo with one click, assign issues to the coding agent in GitHub – even open your Spark in VS Code with Codespaces to start editing the code yourself. And when it’s time to deploy, Spark lets you carry the torch, handling servers, domains, and authentication. Plus, control access with built-in, secure GitHub auth. 🔒 In the last five decades of software development, producing software required manually converting human language into programming language, compiling it, debugging it, testing it – and then going back to more coding. Today, we take a step toward the ideal magic of creation: the idea in your head becomes reality in a matter of minutes. ✨ https://lnkd.in/emswpRgH
