Rubber Duck Thursdays - Build for the love of code
Join us for Rubber Duck Thursdays! A lighthearted and informal stream where we live code on some projects. In this stream, we'll take a look at https://gh.io/love-of-code, chat through some fun potential ideas and build something from the list!

Rubber Duck Thursdays - Copilot agent mode, coding agent and MCP servers
Join us for Rubber Duck Thursdays! A lighthearted and informal stream where we live code on some projects. We'll take a look at what GitHub has released since we were last live and build more code! In this stream, we'll continue working with Copilot agent mode in Visual Studio Code, Copilot coding agent and explore some different MCP servers.

Rubber Duck Thursdays - Copilot coding agent and Copilot agent mode
Join us for Rubber Duck Thursdays! A lighthearted and informal stream where we live code on some projects. In this stream, we'll assign some work to Copilot coding agent and also work with Copilot agent mode.

Extend GitHub Copilot coding agent with custom MCP tools
You can now create issues from Copilot Chat in http://github.com/ and you can assign them to Copilot, so the coding agent can work on them in the background! But did you know that you can give Copilot coding agent access to additional tools through the Model Context Protocol? Learn more in this video, as Copilot uses the Notion MCP server to gather product requirement documents, and provide a PR for review. Learn more at http://gh.io/copilot/coding-agent

Assign issues to GitHub Copilot from the GitHub mobile app
You can now assign issues to GitHub Copilot in the background, freeing you up for other tasks! But this isn't just a 'big screen' activity from a laptop or your desktop. You can assign Copilot to issues from your mobile device too! See how we assign an issue to Copilot in the GitHub Mobile app, and explore its progress when viewing http://github.com/ from our mobile. Learn more about the Copilot coding agent at http://gh.io/copilot/coding-agent

Copilot Agent Mode is now available in GitHub Copilot for Xcode
You can now use Copilot Agent Mode in GitHub Copilot for Xcode, with support for the Model Context Protocol (MCP). Switch from 'Ask' to 'Agent' in the chat pane, and let agent mode translate your tasks and ideas into code, and run additional tools and terminal commands to check its work. To learn more, visit https://gh.io/copilot/xcode

Assigning Copilot ad-hoc tasks through Copilot chat
You can now assign issues to GitHub Copilot in the background, not just from GitHub issues - but even ad hoc tasks while you're working in Visual Studio Code. See how Copilot takes on a task to refactor components in Copilot Airways, allowing us to progress with other work. More on the Copilot coding agent: http://gh.io/copilot/coding-agent

How to get the most out of the Copilot coding agent
Assign issues to GitHub Copilot in the background, freeing you up for other tasks! But what can you do to set Copilot up for success? Here are a few important tips and tricks, including well-scoped issues, Copilot custom instructions, setting up a development environment with Copilot setup steps and providing access to additional tools via the Model Context Protocol (MCP).
