GitHub has announced the general availability of its Copilot cloud agent for Linear, a tool that allows developers to assign issues to an autonomous agent. The Copilot cloud agent can analyze issue contents, open draft pull requests, and operate independently in a GitHub Actions environment. Users can customize the agent's operations, such as choosing models and setting branches, directly from their Linear workspace. This integration aims to streamline development workflows by automating routine tasks and providing more control over project management.
