Introducing the GitHub Copilot app, the desktop home for agent-native software development on GitHub

[Kyle Daigle @kdaigle]

Wanted to provide more clarity about this.

Yesterday, we had a regression in merge queue behavior where, in some cases, squash or rebase commits were generated from the wrong base state, making earlier changes appear reverted in branch history. 2,804 pull requests out of over 4M merged on April 23 (roughly 0.07%) were affected. We fixed the issue, we've contacted every impacted customer, and we're expanding our automated test coverage for merge queue operations. The team will be updating the status page with RCA details as well.

You know how you can render a 10,000-line diff without melting the browser? By focusing on simplicity. 🧵

[Evan Boyle @_Evan_Boyle]

Remote control is now live in the Copilot CLI!

Run Copilot on your local machine, leave it plugged in, head to the beach, and drive the agent from your mobile phone 😎

[Kyle Daigle @kdaigle]

Yup, platform activity is surging. There were 1 billion commits in 2025. Now, it's 275 million per week, on pace for 14 billion this year if growth remains linear (spoiler: it won't.)

GitHub Actions has grown from 500M minutes/week in 2023 to 1B minutes/week in 2025, and now 2.1B minutes so far this week.

So we're pushing incredibly hard on more CPUs, scaling services, and strengthening GitHub’s core features.

And as a fine purveyor of hand-crafted shit code for many years, I'm not gonna weigh in on that. 🤣

I've been using the new PR Inbox experience this week and I have to say it _just works_ for me. Found a couple of PR's that I hadn't realised where waiting for my review. I think this is going to low-key be one of my most used GitHub updates of the year so far.

[Maya Ross @maya_ross]

Very excited for this idea - a dedicated online space to connect over food, just as we do over the table.

[Linecook @linecook]

Hey everyone, we’re Nick & Nick!

For years, we’ve been the guys spamming group chats with pics of our latest home cooking experiments. Burnt edges, perfect sauces, glorious disasters, and the rare meal that feels straight out of a Michelin kitchen. But we kept asking ourselves: why don’t we have a real home for this hobby?

Bookworms have Goodreads

Runners have Strava

Chess nerds have chess .com

Cooks? We’ve got… blurry iMessage threads and disappearing Instagram stories??

So we built Linecook, it’s Strava for home cooking. A place to
• Track your cooking memories and milestones
• Save every recipe you’ve nailed, bombed, or want to try one day
• Celebrate every meal you make with your own two hands

We’re officially coming out of stealth today. Linecook is now in open beta on TestFlight, and we’re looking for passionate home cooks to join our community and help shape it.

If you love cooking, we want you in!

Join the beta at https://t.co/vM8CIuaCiU

And follow along as we build your new favorite social app!

Less noise, if and where you don’t want it

[Helen 侯-Sandí @helenhousandi]

Today we've shipped yet another piece in helping you reduce unwanted noise on GitHub so you can focus on what means the most to you and your projects: the ability to disable comments on individual commits. If you rely on them, great! If you don't, now you can turn them off ✨

[Maya Ross @maya_ross]

@yoamomonstruos Hopefully! I’m planning a trip at the end of April, so should be just enough time. It’s annoying not be sure if I can book th flights though. Hey ho

[Kyle Daigle @kdaigle]

Hot take from looking at @github Copilot telemetry: benchmarks make coding models look wildly different. Production workflows make them look much more similar. 👀

We looked at 23M+ Copilot requests and examined one simple metric: code survivability.

[José Arzuaga 🇵🇷 @JoseInTheArena]

Have you noticed things feel a bit faster? We improved repository navigation and cut render times by over 30% for the slowest loads, and you'll feel it everywhere: code, pull requests, and issues. All snappier. ✨

[Maya Ross @maya_ross]

@martinwoodward Ha good excuse for another stool! Or 500… Universe here I come

[Maya Ross @maya_ross]

I’m on parental leave, so I’m spending time making things that aren’t software. Last week: a stool.

[GitHub @github]

That gap between design and production? Closed. 🔁

GitHub Copilot, @code, and @figma now create a continuous loop. With the bidirectional Figma MCP server, Copilot users can:
🔹 Pull design context into code
🔹 Push working UI back to the canvas

Connect your canvas and stay in the flow. 👇

No more scrolling and hunting for the merge button on a PR when you know it's ready to go 😊

[Mitchell Hashimoto @mitchellh]

GitHub issue/PR navigation is significantly faster recently. Large PRs also render so much better [on Safari, especially]. It is noticeably improving my day since I navigate between them with high frequency. Thanks to whoever made this happen. ❤️

[Assal Rad @AssalRad]

The difference is by design.

GitHub Actions is getting a bunch of improvements, def share your hopes and dreams and thoughts so we can continue to push on this roadmap!
