Support ticket priority for GitHub Enterprise

Support tickets created for GitHub Enterprise are assigned a priority based on the circumstances and impact of the issue.

Enterprise members with support entitlements were able to suggest the initial priority of a support ticket when contacting GitHub Support. To ensure that support requests are handled in order, and according to their circumstances and impact, GitHub Support will set the initial priority of all support tickets.

Gradle starter workflows now automatically submit transitive dependencies

If you’re using starter workflows to prepare the build and release steps for your Java projects that use Gradle, these projects will now have more comprehensive dependency graph information in GitHub. The Gradle starter workflows have been updated to automatically submit transitive dependencies to GitHub, improving the quality of dependency graph data and Dependabot updates for these apps.

Learn more about the action these starter workflows use by checking out the Build with Gradle action on the GitHub Marketplace. Thank you Gradle for making these updates!

Code faster and better with GitHub Copilot’s new features in Visual Studio

We have introduced two new powerful features to the latest Visual Studio Copilot Chat extension: slash commands (/) that allow you to direct Copilot to perform specific tasks, and context Variables (#) that allow you to specify a file for Copilot to focus its answer on. These features are available on the latest Chat extension that is compatible with Visual Studio 2022 version 17.8 and higher.

Slash Commands

Slash commands are special commands that you can use in chat to receive targeted assistance, including explanations, documentation, test creation, and various other forms of support related to your code. For example, you can use:

  • /doc to add a documentation comment
  • /explain to explain the code
  • /fix to propose a fix for the problems in the selected code
  • /generate to generate code to answer your question
  • /help to get help with Copilot Chat
  • /optimize to analyze and improve the running time of the selected code
  • /tests to create unit tests for the selected code

Context Variables

The context variables feature enables you to add files from your solution into your questions using the # symbol. By referencing a file in this way, you allow Copilot to access the content of the file and provide more targeted answers about it. For example, you can ask “How does the #file:’Main.cs’ file work?” or “What is the purpose of the #file:’Calculator.cs’ file?” and get relevant answers from Copilot Chat. You can add multiple files to one question.

Besides these main features, you can also explore our other exciting new preview features
