GitHub Classroom extension for Visual Studio Code

You can now enable Visual Studio Code as a preferred editor for all Assignments in GitHub Classroom. To do so, select “Visual Studio Code” as a supported editor during Assignment creation. Once enabled, all accepted Assignments will include an “Open in VS Code” badge in the Assignment repository READMEs. This badge will open the assignment in Visual Studio Code with the new GitHub Classroom extension auto-installed. You can also independently install the extension from the Visual Code Marketplace

GitHub Actions: Self-hosted runner events are now included in the Audit Log

The Audit Log now includes events associated with GitHub Actions self-hosted runners. This data provides enterprise customers with an expanded data set for security and compliance audits.

New events will be incorporated into the audit log when:

  • A self-hosted runner application has started and can begin processing new jobs
  • A self-hosted runner application has stopped and will no longer process jobs

These new events are only available to customers on the Enterprise plan and can be viewed using the REST API.
