Agent-powered workflows and operations

Learn how agents work autonomously, use tools to act on your behalf, and operate in automated workflows.

GitHub Copilot code review

Copilot reviews your pull requests, identifies issues, and suggests fixes you can apply in a couple of clicks.

Copilot automations

Automations let you run Copilot cloud agent automatically, on a schedule or in response to events in a repository.

About rationale, confidence, and approvals for issues

When automations triage issues, it explains each change, rates its confidence, and holds lower-confidence changes for your review.

Dynamic workflows

Use GitHub Copilot to orchestrate work on complex tasks, potentially combining deterministic operations, agents, tools, API calls, and user interactions.

GitHub Agentic Workflows

Automate repetitive repository work with natural language instructions executed by AI coding agents in GitHub Actions.

Copilot CLI in GitHub Actions

You can run Copilot CLI in a GitHub Actions workflow using either a personal access token or the built-in GITHUB_TOKEN. The two approaches differ in how AI credits are billed and what setup is required.

Remote control of GitHub Copilot CLI sessions

Remote control lets you monitor and steer a Copilot CLI session from GitHub.com or GitHub Mobile, even after you've stepped away from your machine.

Allowing GitHub Copilot to work autonomously

Autopilot mode lets Copilot carry a well-defined coding task through multiple steps without waiting for you after each step.

Loading tools on demand with tool search

Tool search keeps your context small by letting Copilot CLI load external tools only when a task needs them.

About computer use in GitHub Copilot

Copilot can interact with desktop applications to automate tasks that cannot be completed with a more direct tool.
