GitHub introduced Projects in public preview for its Copilot app. A project can collect repositories and non-code context such as design files or notes, then coordinate agent work around a shared goal.
A workspace for cross-repository tasks
- Start with a goal and add the repositories and references an agent needs.
- Let agents work across the connected context and return results such as pull requests for review.
- Use project automations for repeatable workflows, while keeping a focused single-repository session for smaller tasks.
The announcement describes connected context and agent coordination as the central idea; it does not remove the need to review generated changes, permissions, and source material.
Projects are a preview feature. Teams should confirm availability and data-access settings in the official documentation before using sensitive materials.
