GitHub App | Microsoft Build Day 2 streaming now!

Key Takeaways

Let's talk about the highlights from day one. >> Let's do it. >> So first, let's talk about the GitHub Copilot app. >> Yep. >> It's this new uh thing. It's an app. It's not an editor. It's not a CLI. It's What is it exactly? >> It's an agent native desktop experience for building things. Um so like that is a very marketing answer, right? But uh I think we've all kind of used these session managers, right? Where you you know, you spin up some agents. You're running multiple things at once. They're isolated in Git work trees. And so like the app can do that, too. But really like when you think about your job, right? There's a lot of work that is around all that, right? Like deciding what issues to pick up, triaging your backlog. Um once you actually do stuff with agents, okay, sure you submit a PR. You have to get it across the finish line. The app helps with all that stuff, as well. Like even if you're only running one thing at a time, the interesting thing is like the code is intentionally backgrounded, right? We have an awesome editor, VS Code. If you want to see the code, you go to that. But the whole point of the app is you can stay outcome focused. So there's like a browser. You can click one click run. And so your first like kind of outcome that you do after the agent has finished is you're actually checking to make sure did it do the thing? >> Right. >> Right. And then secondarily, you know, how do I feel about this code? And so the app is more focused on that first problem than the second.
