GitHub Copilot

Scoping Copilot’s context and handing it the work you would rather not do yourself.

One File So You Stop Repeating Yourself To Copilot

Stop retyping your team’s coding conventions into GitHub Copilot chat. Put them in .github/copilot-instructions.md once and Copilot applies them automatically.

Tip #032

Stop Letting Copilot Search The Whole Internet

Vague GitHub Copilot Chat answers usually mean an unscoped question. Use @ participants and / slash commands to point Copilot at the right source.

Tip #033

Assign Your Backlog To Copilot, Not Yourself

Assign a GitHub issue to Copilot’s coding agent and it works the task in the background, opening a pull request with a live plan for you to review.
