GitHub Copilot assisted permissions generally available
GitHub announced that assisted permissions are now generally available in GitHub Copilot CLI, GitHub Copilot app, and Visual Studio Code. The feature applies when Copilot requests permission to run a command or access a file system path.
Why it matters
Builders using Copilot in these tools can now rely on assisted permission handling as a standard feature rather than a preview, which affects how agent actions are approved during development work.
Who should care
Software developers, engineering teams, and developers using GitHub Copilot CLI, GitHub Copilot app, or Visual Studio Code
What you can do
Review the GitHub changelog entry and update your Copilot CLI, Copilot app, or VS Code Copilot extension, then check how assisted permissions handle command and file access in your workflow.
