Take your local GitHub sessions anywhere

GitHub has enhanced its Copilot tool by introducing remote control capabilities, allowing developers to manage Copilot CLI sessions from any device, including the web and the GitHub Mobile app. This new feature provides a continuous workflow across different platforms such as CLI, VS Code, and JetBrains IDE, enabling developers to refactor, debug, and scaffold features remotely. The sessions are private by default, ensuring user privacy, and allow real-time monitoring and interaction through natural language instructions. Developers can review, approve, and manage tasks on the go, making it easier to complete workflows without being tethered to a desktop environment. This advancement is part of GitHub's efforts to create an end-to-end agentic platform, simplifying the process of starting and managing sessions for users already familiar with GitHub Copilot CLI or VS Code.
