View and iterate on generated files directly within Copilot chat (Preview)

A screenshot showing the new file blocks in the Copilot chat feed and the new side panel where code files are opened.

You can now view and iterate on generated files directly within Copilot chat on GitHub. File suggestions open in a side panel, making it faster than ever to preview and refine your generated code.

What’s new:

  • Quick file iteration: When Copilot chat suggests files, they open immediately for closer inspection.
  • Convenient previews: Markdown files render directly inside the side panel.
  • Support for more formats: We’re just getting started, expect additional file types and capabilities soon.

Introducing the “Sustainability” category on GitHub Marketplace

We’re thrilled to announce the launch of a new category on GitHub Marketplace: Sustainability.

This new category is designed to highlight GitHub Actions and apps that focus on optimizing workflows to minimize environmental impact. Whether it’s by reducing resource consumption, streamlining builds, or enabling green practices in software development1, this is a space for creators to showcase tools that contribute to a more sustainable future.

If you’re a creator, we encourage you to tag your listings with Sustainability if you believe your app or action aligns with the above. Publishing to the Marketplace is straightforward — here’s how you can get started:

For users, this category provides a dedicated space to discover and explore tools that aim to make software development workflows more environmentally friendly. While GitHub doesn’t verify the claims made by creators in this category, we encourage you to do your own research and find tools that align with your values and needs.

Currently, the Sustainability category is a blank slate, but we’re excited to see it come to life as creators tag their listings. Visit github.com/marketplace to explore the category and check back as new tools become available.

We can’t wait to see what the community shares! 🚀🌍
