Deep GitHub Integration
Copilot is deeply integrated with GitHub's platform. The coding agent opens pull requests directly, code review happens on GitHub PRs, and Copilot Chat can reference your repository context. With the MCP server, Copilot's capabilities extend even further, allowing AI agents to manage the full GitHub workflow programmatically.
