Let’s Learn GitHub Copilot App – Free Virtual Training Event

Technical Program Manager

Last month, we announced the general availability of the GitHub Copilot app, a desktop application for agent-driven development. The Copilot app is a game changer for productivity, integrating natively with GitHub, so your repositories, branches, and CI pipelines work out of the box. It’s designed for workflows where you direct several agents in parallel, each in its own isolated workspace, rather than doing all of the work yourself.

On July 16, join us virtually at “Let’s Learn GitHub Copilot App” to upskill on this new tool – no experience required! If you’ve been curious about the GitHub Copilot app, or you’ve heard the buzz and wondered how this tool can actually help you work smarter, this free virtual training is your perfect starting point.
