Following the release of using Copilot to create issues, we’re making issue creation even smarter. You can now ask Copilot to include relevant code snippets and files directly into your issues on github.com/copilot.

You can now:

  • Create an issue and ask Copilot to attach related code snippets or files.
  • Add snippets after Copilot’s initial draft.
  • Review and edit Copilot’s suggestions before creating the issue.

Try it out

  1. Navigate to github.com/copilot.
  2. Try prompts like: “Create me an issue for YOUR-PROMPT-HERE in YOUR-ORGANIZATION/YOUR-REPOSITORY and add relevant code snippets.”

Helpful tips

  • Snippets aren’t added by default, so be sure to prompt Copilot to include them.
  • Copilot may make mistakes, so always double-check the snippets and files it suggests.
  • Be specific with your prompts to get the most useful results.

With this update, issues can carry richer context from the start, helping you maintain continuity from reporting to implementation.
