GitHub's new AI coding agent can fix bugs for you
Briefly

GitHub has introduced an AI coding agent to streamline development tasks like fixing bugs, adding features, and improving documentation. Embedded within GitHub Copilot, it operates automatically upon task assignment, booting a virtual machine and cloning the repository for analysis. The agent not only saves changes but also provides detailed session logs of its reasoning. This tool aims to boost developer productivity by incorporating context from discussions and adhering to repository guidelines. GitHub's open-source initiative for Copilot also allows developers to enhance the AI's capabilities further.
