"Also with the Visual Studio October update, GitHub Copilot in the IDE allows users to target specific instructions to specific folders or files in a repository by using instruction files. In addition, GitHub Copilot chat now has built-in planning to help guide multi-step tasks. When developers ask a complex question, Copilot automatically creates a markdown plan file with a task list, files to edit, and context. Copilot updates the plan in real time, tracking progress, adapting to blockers, and keeping its logic transparent, Microsoft said."
"Copilot updates the plan in real time, tracking progress, adapting to blockers, and keeping its logic transparent, Microsoft said. Finally, two new commands are available for managing GitHub Copilot chat threads, /clear and /clearAll. The /clear command is to be used when issues are encountered with a current chat conversation that the developer would like to start fresh, while /clearAll can be used for clearing no-longer-needed threads."
Visual Studio’s October update enables GitHub Copilot in the IDE to target specific instructions to particular folders or files within a repository using instruction files. GitHub Copilot chat now includes built-in planning to guide multi-step tasks. When developers pose a complex question, Copilot automatically generates a markdown plan file containing a task list, the files to edit, and relevant context. Copilot updates that plan in real time, tracks progress, adapts to blockers, and keeps its reasoning transparent. Two new chat-management commands are available: /clear to restart a problematic conversation and /clearAll to remove no-longer-needed threads.
