GitHub Copilot is far more than just an autocomplete tool: it can research and plan work, run in the background, collaborate across sessions, and automate repo maintenance. In this hands-on workshop, we’ll explore agentic engineering on GitHub: starting with research and planning, moving into async handoffs and parallel threads, customizing and steering multiple agents, skills and plugins and GitHub Agentic Workflows.

Attendees will learn how to structure work for agents, how to customize and personalize Copilot, preserve context across handoffs, orchestrate multiple agents safely, and keep humans in control while accelerating throughput.
