Copilot in VS Code gives each agent session its own git worktree
Short summary
The July release of Copilot in VS Code (v1.127–v1.131) adds per-session git worktrees so multiple AI agents can work on the same repository simultaneously without stomping each other's edits. Multi-chat support lets a single session hold several related conversations with independent histories and models, and chats can be forked to explore alternative approaches. Smaller additions include terminal command execution via ! prefix, BYOK model support, billing visibility, and general availability of Copilot vision for image input.
- •Per-session git worktrees prevent parallel AI agents from overwriting each other's changes
- •Multi-chat allows forking conversations within one session to explore different approaches
- •Copilot vision is GA; BYOK models and billing-cycle credit tracking now in Agents window
Generated with AI, which can make mistakes.
Is this a good recommendation for you?
