Github introduces custom agents for Copilot Agent

🚀 New Video is Live! Just shared a hands-on tutorial on GitHub CLI (gh) - the official way to manage GitHub directly from your terminal. In this video, I cover installing gh, authenticating, creating repositories, managing issues & PRs, using extensions, aliases, and understanding where GitHub CLI fits best in real workflows. If you spend most of your time in the terminal, this can seriously improve your productivity. 🎥 Watch here: https://lnkd.in/dg5n5fTn #GitHub #GitHubCLI #DevOps #DeveloperTools #Productivity #CLI

Managing multiple GitHub accounts on the same machine? It's a common challenge for developers who work with different projects or organizations. Just published a comprehensive guide on how to set up SSH configs, manage multiple SSH keys, and switch between accounts seamlessly. Read the full article to set up multi-account GitHub workflows! 🚀 https://lnkd.in/dB-CvcZ5 #GitHub #Git #DevOps #DeveloperTips

Create GitHub Issues without leaving VS Code One small workflow change that saves a lot of context switching and friction. In this video, I’m showing how Saarthi makes external tool integrations ridiculously simple. With Saarthi, you can connect your GitHub MCP server once and then use it seamlessly across your workflows- directly from your IDE. No browser tabs, no copy-paste, no broken development flow. ✨ How it works Connect your GitHub MCP server once inside Saarthi From then on, while coding in VS Code, just prompt Saarthi Raise GitHub issues without leaving your editor Saarthi automatically creates a well-structured GitHub issue with: Clear title Detailed description Priority Labels Assignee 📌 No more switching tabs 📌 No more half-written or inconsistent issues 📌 No loss of context between development and issue tracking This is part of Saarthi’s larger vision: 👉 Bring all your external tools into the IDE and optimize the entire SDLC where developers already work. #Saarthi #DeveloperExperience #VSCode #GitHub #SDLC #AIForDevelopers #GodspeedSystems

This is real developer productivity: fewer tabs, less friction, and external tools managed directly from VS Code. Engineers stay in flow and teams stay aligned.

SSW's Adam Cogan thinks Duplicate GitHub issues are a good problem. In his blog this month, he shows how to triage dupes without alienating users. Clear comms, smart labels, human closes. Read more: https://lnkd.in/giVags6v #GitHub #OpenSource #ProductManagement

Developer lesson learned 😅 I started a project and forgot to create a GitHub repository. When I eventually created one, I realized I hadn’t been pushing my code consistently. Funny in hindsight, but it was a valuable reminder that good development isn’t just about writing code, it’s also about maintaining proper workflow and version control. I’m now more intentional about: • setting up repositories before starting • committing regularly • pushing code consistently Every project comes with lessons, both technical and process-related. On to better habits and better builds 🚀 #SoftwareDevelopment #GitHub #LearningInPublic #TechJourney #GrowthMindset

How difficult is it to use a code assistant, especially for an engineer working in an IT company? It's a simple GUI, easily integrated with your IDE, and offers a lot of help. A customer visiting the offshore center is providing training on GitHub Copilot, as he has noticed that many people are unfamiliar with how to use it. #githubCopilot

𝐻𝑜𝑤 𝑡𝑜 𝑐𝑟𝑒𝑎𝑡𝑒 𝑎 𝐶𝐼/𝐶𝐷 𝑤𝑜𝑟𝑘𝑓𝑙𝑜𝑤? I just created my first CI/CD workflow in GitHub Actions. A workflow/pipeline is a set of instructions that GitHub runs automatically for you whenever something happens in your repo. Your workflow is a YAML file that must live inside the .github/workflows folder. Once it’s there, GitHub can read it and run it on events like a push. Looking at the picture, a workflow is basically made up of a few key parts: 1. 𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝒘𝒐𝒓𝒌𝒇𝒍𝒐𝒘 𝒏𝒂𝒎𝒆 This is just the label at the top so you can recognise it in the Actions tab. 2. 𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝒕𝒓𝒊𝒈𝒈𝒆𝒓 This decides when it runs. In the screenshot, it’s set up to run when code is pushed, so every push kicks off the automation. 3. 𝑱𝒐𝒃𝒔 A job is a container for the work that needs to happen. You can have one job or multiple jobs depending on how big the pipeline is. 4. 𝒓𝒖𝒏𝒔-𝒐𝒏 This is important. It tells GitHub what type of machine to spin up to run the job, like ubuntu-latest. Every time the workflow runs, it gets a fresh new vm, which is why workflows are reliable and repeatable. 5. 𝑺𝒕𝒆𝒑𝒔 Steps are the actual actions and commands the runner executes in order. In the pipeline below, it checks out the repo and then runs a simple command that prints “Hello, world”. That same structure is what bigger pipelines use to install dependencies, run tests, build the app, and deploy. Big takeaway from the screenshot: CI/CD isn’t magic, it’s just a structured workflow file that tells GitHub when to run, what machine to run on, and what steps to execute automatically. #DevOps #CICD #GitHubActions #YAML #Automation #LearningInPublic #CoderCo #TechJourney
