pull-requests

GitHub has re-engineered the diff-viewing surface inside the GitHub Copilot app to support pull requests spanning up to a million lines of code with hundreds of inline comments. The change addresses performance bottlenecks that previously made large-scale code review sluggish or unusable.

GitHub has disabled Copilot's ability to insert promotional tips into pull requests following developer backlash. The feature, which injected Raycast ads into over 11,400 pull requests without explicit developer consent, was enabled when Copilot was mentioned in PRs it didn't create. GitHub's product manager acknowledged the decision was a mistake.

GitHub has published a hands-on guide demonstrating how developers can use GitHub Copilot CLI to move from initial intent through to creating reviewable pull requests. The guide shows how CLI-based development naturally integrates with IDE workflows and GitHub's collaborative tools.
