AUGUST EDITION

New tools for navigating
the AI-coding landscape and keeping track of everything

TOP RELEASE TO TRY

Improve your code's reliability and maintainability

Use GitHub Code Quality to check your code and make sure that it’s up to your standards. Combined with Copilot Autofix, you can get suggested fixes before you merge, all to help you ship code you trust.

Useful if you want to:

Raise the quality bar on suggested changes.
Get a handle on increased output due to AI-based tools.
Find potential issues in your code you weren’t aware of.
Have suggested fixes at the time of discovery.

GitHub Code Quality is now generally available

COPILOT

Track Copilot adoption and impact

Use the new Copilot metrics impact dashboard to identify how your enterprise or organization is using Copilot. Identify how your team’s use has changed and get suggestions on how to grow the adoption level.

Check out the new dashboard

GITHUB.COM

Keep an eye on the pull requests that matter to you

Stay organized with the new pull requests dashboard which gives you a single location to track all pull requests that you’ve touched or need your attention.

See all your pull requests in one place

More updates this month

New models include Kimi K2.7, GPT-5.6 family, Gemini 3.6 Flash, and Claude Opus 5

All of these models are newly released and available for you to use with Copilot.

Provide images in your Copilot prompts

Upload images and PDFs directly to your chat prompts now that Copilot vision has become generally available.

Manage additional Copilot settings at the enterprise level

Use a managed-settings.json file to govern the use of both the GitHub Copilot app and the Copilot cloud agent across your entire enterprise, helping to apply the same policy across multiple clients.

Make the auto model selection default

Have Copilot automatically select the most appropriate model by default for all Copilot conversations across your enterprise.

Configure agent automations in GitHub Issues

Choose which agent automations to review and approve by seeing how confident the models are in their suggestions and the rationale behind the decisions the model made. With this public preview feature, stay in control with informed choices.

Organize your issues by using fields

Set fields in your issues to categorize them and provide easy-to-filter parameters. In addition, these fields (and the ones for projects) now support multi-selection.

Dependabot delays update requests

Dependabot now waits at least three days before submitting a version update pull request in order to lower the potential risk of a new version being compromised.
