Copilot Chat brings richer context to pull requests

GitHub Copilot Chat now provides richer context and new capabilities when you’re working with diffs and pull requests on github.com. This feature was previously in public preview and is now generally available to anyone with a Copilot license.

Code and chat are side-by-side

You can view your conversation directly alongside your conversation with Copilot. This allows for comments and inline edits without needing to toggle between the pull request and your chat window.

Chat pulls in context faster

This experience is powered by new abilities for pull request understanding, review, and summary. These abilities add relevant pull request and repository context to chat any time you ask about a diff or pull request. We’ve improved the performance of this feature so you get quality answers to your questions faster.

Try it out

You can access this functionality by clicking the Ask about this diff button on the top of each diff, the Copilot button in the top navigation bar, or by highlighting the line of code you want to ask about and navigating to Copilot in the dropdown.
