GitHub release round-up,
June edition

The latest launches from GitHub. See what's new and how to get started.

Here's a roundup of what shipped in the last month, including coming changes to manage Copilot and data residency options.

GitHub Copilot coding agent (Preview): Your backlog doesn't stand a chance! Assign issues to Copilot, and it will work in the background to automatically implement features, fix bugs, and open pull requests for your review.
Now is the time to migrate to GitHub: Harness the power of agentic AI by migrating your Azure DevOps repositories to GitHub while preserving your existing Azure Boards and Pipelines workflows.
Agent mode with MCP expands to JetBrains, Eclipse, and Xcode: All three of these IDEs now feature Copilot agent mode, enabling you to run multi-step processes, analyze your codebase, run terminal commands, and detect and fix errors.
GitHub Models in your repositories: We've added prompt management, lightweight evaluations and enterprise controls to GitHub Models so teams can experiment with best-in-class models, without leaving GitHub.

Copilot Spaces is now available to anyone who wants to:

Make Copilot into a subject matter expert: Copilot Spaces enables you to group related code, documentation, issues, and other contexts to produce focused, high-quality AI-powered answers and suggestions.
Scale expertise across teams: Share expertise by creating spaces that teammates can access, giving them instant access to specialized knowledge and saving valuable development time.
Always up to date: Files and repositories added to a space are always kept up to date as they change, making Copilot an evergreen expert in your project.

Flexibility to choose where your code and repository data is stored, while maintaining full GitHub capabilities.
Secure, Azure-powered infrastructure for enhanced security for your code in transit and at rest.
Data residency is also available in the European Union and Australia for a self-service trial.
