GitHub Agentic Workflows and Orchestration Live Series

This is the 𝗰𝗼𝗼𝗹𝗲𝘀𝘁 way I've used GitHub 𝗖𝗼𝗽𝗶𝗹𝗼𝘁 𝗖𝗟𝗜 🚀 🤖 I just let it take a 𝗚𝗶𝘁𝗛𝘂𝗯 𝗦𝗸𝗶𝗹𝗹𝘀 exercise... by itself I pointed it at a GitHub Skills exercise and told it to complete it through the browser. The agent opened GitHub, created a repo from the template, read the exercise instructions from the issue, configured GitHub Pages, committed files, opened a PR, merged it - and waited for feedback after each step before moving on. Fully autonomous, start to finish. 🔗 I'll link to the resources I used in the comments. #GitHub #GitHubCopilotCLI #CopilotCLI #GitHubSkills

A great example of using the GitHub Copilot CLI to test our https://learn.github.com.skills and create a demo of what was accomplished 🚀

Okay, this is pretty cool! GitHub Copilot's new inline agent mode for JetBrains IDEs is now in preview. It's exciting to see these tools evolving to integrate more deeply into our dev workflows, beyond just suggestions. Makes tackling complex tasks feel more collaborative. A definite productivity boost! ✨ #GitHubCopilot #DevTools

GitHub's new global pull requests dashboard just hit opt-out public preview. 🤔 This means a unified view will be ON by default for everyone! For dev teams, that could be a huge win for visibility and streamlining workflows. Just remember to opt out if it doesn't fit your current setup. Curious to see the adoption! #GitHub #DevTools

Pushing code is easy… Making sure it works every time is hard 😅 That’s where GitHub Actions comes in. It lets you automate your workflow: • Build your code • Run tests • Deploy automatically All triggered by events like push or PR 🚀 Read more here: https://lnkd.in/gmUXX5MM - By Octopus Deploy

Think twice before you hit 'sync' on GitHub. GitHub sync is a permanent step. It's crucial to understand the implications before turning it on. Take this seriously to maintain clarity in your workflow and avoid irreversible changes. Proceed with knowledge, not haste. Dive deeper into version control fundamentals! #GitHub #VersionControl #CodeQuality

If you're using Obsidian for notes, knowledge management, or second brain systems, syncing your vault with Git and GitHub is a game changer. Instead of relying on paid sync services, you can: ✅ Version control your notes ✅ Access history and revert changes ✅ Sync across multiple devices ✅ Keep everything backed up securely Basic idea: Initialize a Git repository inside your Obsidian vault Connect it to a GitHub repository Use simple commands (git add, git commit, git push) to sync changes This setup gives you full control over your data while building good development habits at the same time. If you're already using Obsidian, it's definitely worth trying.

If you missed today's GitHub Copilot CLI Hands-On session on dev workflows and agents, you can watch it here: 🎥 https://lnkd.in/gpMdZP32 We have 2 more sessions next week that cover using skills and MCP with Copilot CLI as well! Sign up: 👉 https://msft.it/6017QsvXb The GitHub Copilot CLI for Beginners course that we're covering can be found here: 📘 https://lnkd.in/gXWerQwK Special thanks to Christoffer Noring for joining me and sharing his insights!

GitHub 🐱 or GitLab 🦊? There are reasons to prefer one over the other. GitHub: clean ecosystem, massive community GitLab: integrated CI/CD, more “all-in-one” But let’s be honest. Most of the time, it comes down to what you used first. Or simply, which logo you like more. #Git #GitHub #GitLab #SoftwareEngineering #DevTools #DeveloperLife #ContinuousLearning #RotterdamTech

I thought GitHub Actions was just CI/CD. This book proved me wrong. "GitHub Actions in Action" shows you that GitHub Actions is a full automation engine — not just a pipeline tool. It's already used by millions of developers worldwide to automate any kind of manual task in engineering. And the best part? It doesn't just automate GitHub — it can automate the entire GitHub universe. If you've been sleeping on GitHub Actions, this book will wake you up. Highly recommended for anyone who wants to go deeper with GitHub and rethink how much they're spending on external tools. #github #cicd #distribution #softwareengineering
