Copilot in VS Code gives each agent session its own git worktree

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?
