GitHub Copilot in Slack and Microsoft Teams adds multi-repo support and other updates
GitHub announced that GitHub Copilot in Slack and Microsoft Teams now supports working across multiple repositories in a single conversation. The changelog also lists other improvements to the integration, though the source excerpt does not detail them.
Why it matters
Teams can now reference and act on several repositories within one thread, such as tracking pull requests or investigating issues spanning multiple codebases, without switching contexts.
Who should care
Software development teams, engineering managers, and builders of online products who use Slack or Microsoft Teams alongside GitHub.
What you can do
If your team uses Copilot in Slack or Teams, test a conversation that spans two related repositories and review the full changelog for the other listed improvements.
