Github Copilot Agent Mode

GitHub Copilot Agent Mode (Preview) is the autonomous coding feature in VS Code Insiders. Copilot plans, codes, runs tests, and fixes errors – all driven by your natural language requests.

GitHub Copilot Agent Mode revolutionizes coding with autonomous capabilities in VS Code. Powered by advanced AI, it plans, writes, tests, and fixes code based on natural language prompts. This feature, available in preview, iterates on its own output, identifies errors, and self-heals, streamlining workflows and reducing manual intervention. Copilot Edits, now generally available, enables multi-file editing through conversational commands, enhancing efficiency and accuracy. Additionally, Project Padawan, an upcoming SWE agent, will automate tasks like creating pull requests and resolving feedback, acting as a virtual contributor. With tools like Gemini 2.0 Flash and a focus on developer empowerment, Copilot transforms mundane tasks, allowing developers to focus on creativity and innovation.
