GitHub Copilot agent mode for JetBrains, Eclipse, and Xcode is now generally available! You can enable GitHub Copilot with any GitHub account and experience the autonomous coding experience today.

✨ What’s new

Agent mode is now generally available for JetBrains, Eclipse, and Xcode users. Unlike traditional chat or multi-file edits, agent mode is designed to autonomously translate your intent into code by taking action across your project. With a simple prompt, agent mode can analyze your codebase, break down your request into actionable steps, and execute changes across multiple files or generate new ones as needed to achieve your goal.

In these IDEs, agent mode can also suggest terminal commands or tool invocations and prompt you to run them, streamlining tasks like building your project or installing dependencies. If errors occur during execution, agent mode analyzes run-time issues and applies self-healing techniques to resolve them automatically.

With agent mode in JetBrains, Eclipse, and Xcode, Copilot becomes an active coding partner by handling multi-step tasks, proposing and applying edits, and ensuring your workflow stays smooth from start to finish.
