GitHub lets Copilot app sessions continue in VS Code

Developers can carry one Copilot task into the editor without starting over, keeping the same context as they review and change code.

GitHub says you can move an active Copilot app session into VS Code and keep the session, worktree, diff, and conversation context intact, which lets developers review, edit, test, and then push the same branch from the editor. The blog lays out the flow: open the session in VS Code, inspect the changed files in Source Control, continue the chat in the Copilot sidebar, make manual edits in the checked-out worktree, and run normal validation in the integrated terminal. It also says the app and editor stay linked through the original session so you do not have to recreate the task or copy files into another checkout. Separately, GitHub says its context-aware secret classifier improved detection quality, increased weighted acceptance by 11.5%, and cut median scan execution time by 86%.
