What’s New

You can now add entire repositories to your spaces. Get up and running faster when you’re exploring unfamiliar codebases or need comprehensive context across your project.

Key benefits

  • Quick exploration: Perfect for when you don’t know which specific files to include.
  • Cross-cutting features: Ideal for work that spans multiple files and directories.
  • One-click setup: Add everything at once instead of hunting for individual files.

How to use

  • Open your space and click Add Sources.
  • Select Add files and repositories.
  • Select the repository you want to add.
  • On file selection, click Add repository.

💡 Pro tip

When you add a repository to your space, Copilot will search within it to find relevant content. Therefore, we always recommend adding specific files you know are critical to your work. This helps Copilot prioritize the most relevant context for your conversations.
