Assign a GitHub issue to Copilot and watch it spin up a secure dev environment, write code, push commits, and open a PR. Copilot has gone from peer programmer to pair programmer, handling the boring stuff so you can stay in the flow. #GitHubCopilot #DevTools #codingagent #MSBuild

Imagine spinning up a squad of teammatesβ€” to fix bugs, write docs, and ship small features β€”so you can stay in flow. From ideation to production, agents work with you to optimize every phase of the SDLC. You’re still at the helmβ€”just with superpowers. ⚑
