Copilot Chat in VS Code upleveled with new GitHub skills

New skills have been added to Copilot Chat in VS Code, enabling you to search across GitHub to find commits, issues, pull requests, repositories, and topics. GitHub Copilot will either automatically infer when to use the @github agent, or you can invoke it directly by asking questions like:
@github What are all of the open PRs assigned to me?
@github What are the latest issues assigned to me?
@github When was the latest release?
@github Show me the recent merged pr's from @dancing-mona

This functionality is available to all Copilot users, with Copilot Chat v0.20.3 or later and VS Code or VS Code Insiders 1.93 or later. Learn more about asking questions in Copilot Chat on VS Code and available skills

As of October 7, 2024, Dependabot no longer supports Bundler version 1, which has reached its end-of-life. If you continue to use Bundler version 1, Dependabot will be unable to create pull requests to update your dependencies. If this affects you, we recommend updating to a supported release of Bundler. As of October 2024, the newest supported version is 2.5.

Secret scanning support for non-provider patterns is now generally available for all GitHub Advanced Security customers.

Non-provider patterns are generic detectors that help you uncover secrets outside of patterns tied to specific token issuers, like HTTP authentication headers, connection strings, and private keys. You can enable them in your repository’s code security and analysis settings, or through code security configurations at the organization level.
