GitHub Design Open-Sources Replica for AI Prototyping
GitHub’s Changelog dated October 28, 2026 says GitHub Design is open-sourcing Replica, an AI prototyping tool, under the MIT license, available now. Unlike generic tools, Replica uses a team’s existing components, patterns, and documentation to guide generation. Designers define guidance; anyone can use natural language in the GitHub Copilot app to create and refine interactive prototypes that match how the product works. An optional self-hosted Replica Hub lets teammates browse and comment. Repository: github.com/github/replica. For reference only.

Generate and Edit Images Directly in Copilot
GitHub’s Changelog dated October 28, 2026 says Copilot can generate and edit images with natural language. It is a public preview, not generally available. The selected reasoning model calls a dedicated image tool powered by GPT Image 2.5 Flare; results preview inline and save to the project. Available in VS Code, the Copilot app, and Copilot CLI. Org owners can disable the image model via Copilot model policies. Optional “Made with AI” watermark is off by default. Preview for Pro, Pro+, Business, and Enterprise; billed separately on image tokens toward AI credits. For reference only.
Shared Copilot Automations Roll Out for Teams
GitHub’s Changelog dated October 28, 2026 says Shared Copilot Automations are rolling out, not generally available by name. Teams combine prompts, triggers, and tools so Copilot runs in the cloud with only allowed tools. Shared ones are visible to repo readers and editable by writers; AI credits bill the repository owner; actions are attributed to Copilot. Org repos need the cloud-agent billing policy enabled. Rolling out to Copilot Pro, Pro+, Max, Business, and Enterprise; availability may vary. For reference only.
GitHub Agentic Workflows Are Generally Available
GitHub’s Changelog dated October 28, 2026 says GitHub Agentic Workflows (GitHub Next, open source) is generally available. Automation is defined in Markdown and compiles to Actions YAML for issue triage, CI failure analysis, docs, and tests, reusing runners and policy. Safeguards include integrity filter, default read-only, sandboxed firewall, safe outputs, and threat detection. Free, Team, and Enterprise on github.com; default Copilot CLI engine needs a Copilot license. For reference only.
GitHub Copilot Fusion Goes GA with Multi-Model Routing
GitHub’s Changelog dated October 28, 2026 says GitHub Copilot Fusion is generally available. Instead of picking a model for each task, selecting Copilot Fusion lets Copilot route and orchestrate which models it uses. Fusion Standard, Fusion High, and Fusion Max set effort. GitHub cites an Artificial Analysis Coding Agent Index score of 60 for Fusion Max. Paid Copilot plans get a limited-time 30% discount on model costs. Fusion is on all Copilot plans in VS Code, the Copilot app, Copilot CLI, and JetBrains IDEs. For reference only.
GitHub Copilot Adds Server-to-Server Auth in Public Preview
GitHub’s Changelog dated October 27, 2026 says GitHub Copilot supports server-to-server authentication for GitHub Apps installed on organizations, in public preview. Services and agents built with the Copilot SDK can request on behalf of an organization without signed-in user credentials. Apps need the read-only Copilot Requests organization permission and a short-lived installation access token. Usage is billed to the org under its model policies, budgets, and spending controls. Tokens expire after one hour. Details follow GitHub Changelog and docs. For reference only.
GitHub Copilot Assisted Permissions Is Generally Available
GitHub says Assisted permissions is generally available in GitHub Copilot CLI, the GitHub Copilot app, and Visual Studio Code. When Copilot asks to run a command, access a file system path, or open a URL, a large language model evaluates the request: clearly safe ones proceed automatically; everything else still needs manual approval. Enterprise admins can block Allow All while keeping Assisted, or disable Assisted separately, and can set a default permission mode for new sessions.
GPT-6.1 Terra Is Generally Available in GitHub Copilot
GitHub’s Changelog (October 26, 2026) says GPT-6.1 Terra is generally available in GitHub Copilot for everyday agentic coding and terminal work, at a lower cost than GPT-6.1 Sol. Billing follows provider list pricing under usage-based billing. It covers Copilot Pro, Pro+, Max, Business, and Enterprise across VS Code, Visual Studio, Copilot CLI, cloud agent, Copilot app, github.com, GitHub Mobile, JetBrains, Xcode, and Eclipse, with a gradual rollout. Business and Enterprise admins can manage access in the Copilot model policy. As of October 27, 2026 (Beijing time).
GitHub Copilot Impact Dashboard Adds Opt-In Industry Comparisons
GitHub’s October 22, 2026 Changelog says the Copilot Impact dashboard now has an “Industry comparison” section. Enterprises, and organizations not owned by an enterprise, can compare Copilot agentic adoption and leverage with aggregated peer benchmarks. Participation is opt-in and disabled by default. Results appear only in the dashboard—not in the Usage Metrics API, NDJSON exports, or downloads. The dashboard has not been signed into on this site; for reference only.
GitHub Copilot Usage Metrics Now Name Your Skills, Agents, and MCP Servers
GitHub’s October 22, 2026 Changelog says Copilot usage metrics now show the configured names of skills, custom agents, MCP servers, slash commands, and plugins an organization creates—instead of lumping them under other or custom. Each totals_by_* list can hold up to 25 named entries per record. Treat the numbers as trends and adoption signals, not an exact billing ledger. The API has not been called on this site; for reference only.
GitHub Copilot Usage Metrics Now Count OpenCode and Other Clients
GitHub’s Changelog says the Copilot usage metrics API now reports model usage from tools outside the IDE, including OpenCode. A new totals_by_client array appears in enterprise, organization, enterprise-user, and organization-user 1-day and 28-day reports. Server-side request counts close the gap left when those tools do not send editor telemetry. This is a governance and visibility update—not the same story as Copilot turning Teams notifications into fixes and PRs.
GitHub Copilot in Teams Turns Notifications into Fixes and PRs
GitHub’s Changelog says the new GitHub app in Microsoft Teams brings notifications and Copilot together. When an issue lands in a channel, group chat, or private chat, you can @mention GitHub to investigate, fix the bug, and open a pull request—without leaving the conversation. The legacy GitHub app will be renamed “GitHub (deprecated)” and retired on November 16, 2026.
