Let’s Learn GitHub Copilot App – Free Virtual Training Event

GitHub announced a free virtual training event, "Let's Learn GitHub Copilot App," scheduled for July 16, to teach developers and technical professionals how to use the new agent-driven development desktop application. The event will cover installation, setup, coding assistance, code review, custom instructions, MCPs, Agent Merge, and Canvases, with sessions offered in multiple languages.

Last month, we announced the general availability of the GitHub Copilot app https://github.blog/changelog/2026-06-17-github-copilot-app-generally-available/ , a desktop application for agent-driven development. The Copilot app is a game changer for productivity, integrating natively with GitHub, so your repositories, branches, and CI pipelines work out of the box. It’s designed for workflows where you direct several agents in parallel, each in its own isolated workspace, rather than doing all of the work yourself.
