GitHub Copilot app sessions can continue in VS Code
What happened
On 20 October 2026, the GitHub Blog published a tutorial explaining how to continue a GitHub Copilot app session in VS Code. Sessions from the Copilot app can be opened directly in VS Code, retaining the task, plan and conversation context, along with the session's worktree and code diff. Users can review changes line by line in VS Code, edit manually, run tests in the integrated terminal and keep asking Copilot questions; when finished, they can commit the changes and push them to the pull request associated with the session.
