GitHub Copilot App Adds Centralized "My Work" Pane for Managing Pull Requests and Issues
WHY IT MATTERS
By unifying pull requests, issues, and session creation in one pane, Copilot reduces context switching, helping developers stay organized and accelerate code reviews and bug fixes.
What happened
GitHub’s Copilot app now includes a "My Work" pane that consolidates pull requests and issues across the repositories you’ve interacted with. The pane offers three default tabs—All, Active, and Done—plus a Review Requests view for items awaiting your review. Users can create custom views with filters such as "Is: Issue" and "Assignee: Me" to surface specific work items.
The interface supports both list and table layouts, allowing column customization and resizing. From any listed item, developers can launch new Copilot sessions, or batch‑create sessions for multiple items.
A repository filter and a quick "New issue" button let users add work directly within the pane. This central hub aims to streamline task management and keep developers focused on what matters most.
