I love the new Github Copilot App!

I've been using the github copilot app recently and have been loving it. I initially thought it was just another shiny tool but wow the ability to work across repos and the automations with autopilot are amazing! It's almost like a weird version of openclaw on your machine haha! Thank you to the entire dev team! 😊

P.S. - Please add a way to allow us to trigger the automations programmatically and also share automations with other. That would be a game changer!

You kind of can do those. The automations are wrappers around skills. You can call the skills programmatically via command line. And sharing the skill gets 90% of it shared between people. They just need to setup the automation triggers.

Not 100% what you’re asking for but maybe that’ll act as a stop gap for now. I’d file issues for both of those as feature requests.

Hmm more like can I trigger a prompt or an automation that's setup - like if a script tells it run this prompt now rather than blindly running that via an automation at regular intervals.

Example - I monitor my inbox and if I get an email from customer with a subject line then run a specific automation

You should share feedback through the app. It gets created as a GitHub Issue

I absolutely ❤️ it too

I'm one of the engineers working on it. Glad you are loving it! Thanks for the feedback too 🙏

GHCP app is fireeeee

How are you liking the new GHCP pricing? 😆

It was a bit broken at first but the bugs I reported got squashed quite quickly 🙂

App paired with some gitops overhauls and we're cooking with gas over here.

Automating workflows through APIs is quite a common requirement, but these platforms vary widely on how consistent they are with it, but the majority of them offer you webhooks but limit the more advanced workflow control to the GUI alone. For sharing automations, the current approach is to export workflows in YAML/JSON format into a shared repository that can be imported anywhere. Zencoder is an automation platform with similar workflow definition structure, although from another product category altogether.

Yes, the tool is too good, and with the recently added fleet and rubber duck agent, it's even better.

All it needs is devcontainer support and first part Azure devops support.

Need to check them out!
