GitHub is about to unlock a new realm of possibilities in Microsoft’s coding ecosystem using Copilot Extensions. Today, GitHub and Copilot are joining forces to gain knowledge of the world’s most widely adopted AI coding base. Copilot Extensions allows developers to deploy their code straight to the cloud in their native language with their desired tools and workflow. All without leaving the IDE or github.com
Today, GitHub is starting with extensions from DataStax, Docker, LambdaTest, LaunchDarkly, McKinsey & Company, Microsoft Azure and Teams, MongoDB, Octopus Deploy, Pangea, Pinecone, Product Science, ReadMe, Sentry, and Stripe. Extensions are supported in GitHub Copilot Chat on GitHub.com, Visual Studio, and VS Code.
With the GitHub Marketplace, you can use open extensions for all or create private Copilot extensions for your organization. Copilot Extensions helps bring the entire development process together, from development, debugging, and deployment, helping maintain your workflow across multiple platforms with just one tool.
Today’s announcement is just a sneak peek of what’s to come; once invited, you can access Copilot Extensions, and in the future, you’ll be able to access Extensions through Teams, Office, or the Visual Studio Marketplace. Are you looking to build a Copilot Extension? Head over and Join the Copilot Partner program for more information.
