The Copilot Workspace starts with a task, builds a full plan, and is entirely editable, allowing developers to adjust their plan of action. Once the plan is implemented, developers can view changes, run unit tests, and make edits as needed. The workspace is also mobile compatible, designed to be used from any device. GitHub aims to enable a world with 1 billion developers, and with the introduction of GitHub Copilot Workspace, it hopes to make the process of channeling creativity into code easier for both professional and hobbyist developers.
