GitHub Copilot App Now Lets Developers Continue Sessions Directly in VS Code

GitHub has added a feature that lets developers open an active Copilot app session inside Visual Studio Code, keeping the agent’s conversation, diff, and isolated worktree intact. The change allows a user to review the Copilot‑generated changes line by line, make manual edits, run local tests, and push the updated branch—all within the same editor. The workflow begins by launching a session in the Copilot app, selecting “Open in VS Code,” and then using the Source Control view to inspect the diff. After confirming the implementation, developers can tweak code, run npm scripts or other build commands, and finally commit and push the branch that already tracks the pull request. The feature keeps the agent’s context, so subsequent prompts refer to the same conversation, reducing the need to re‑summarize tasks.
