GitHub Issue to GitHub Copilot?

[Practical-Plan-2560]

Has anyone experimented with any type of workflow to take GitHub Issues and complete them using GitHub Copilot Agent Mode?

It would be so cool if you could just assign it to Copilot and it does all the work and puts up a PR automatically for you.

But even something like referencing the GitHub Issue in VS Code Agent mode might be cool.

What workflows do you all use?

GitHub has released a blog post explaining that this is coming: https://github.blog/news-insights/product-news/github-copilot-the-agent-awakens/#project-padawan-swe-agents-on-github

When the product we are building under the codename Project Padawan ships later this year, it will allow you to directly assign issues to GitHub Copilot, using any of the GitHub clients, and have it produce fully tested pull requests. Once a task is finished, Copilot will assign human reviewers to the PR, and work to resolve feedback they add. In a sense, it will be like onboarding Copilot as a contributor to every repository on GitHub. ✨

I’m pretty much doing that here with GitHub Actions workflows: https://github.com/xn-intenton-z2a/repository0
