GitHub Copilot Autofix Now Supports Branch Selection

Copilot Autofix, the AI-powered code fixing tool within GitHub, has just received a significant upgrade. You can now specify the target branch when using Copilot Autofix for code scanning, providing greater flexibility and control over your code changes.

This enhancement is particularly useful for developers working on multiple branches simultaneously. By selecting the desired branch, you can ensure that Copilot Autofix suggestions are tailored to the specific context of your development efforts, reducing the likelihood of unintended code modifications.

To leverage this new feature, simply activate Copilot Autofix on your codebase and choose the appropriate branch from the available options. Copilot will then analyze your code and suggest relevant fixes based on the selected branch’s context.

This latest addition to Copilot Autofix further demonstrates GitHub’s commitment to empowering developers with intelligent tools that streamline their workflows and improve code quality. With the ability to choose specific branches, Copilot Autofix becomes an even more indispensable asset for developers across various project types and scales.
