Safer commits, GitHub webhooks and a changelog

Approved changes are committed together and never overwrite newer work, and GitHub now tells Copilot when something changes.

  • NewSeveral approved files are committed as one commit: they all land together or none do.
  • NewGitHub webhooks: uninstalling the app, changing which repositories it can reach, or pushing to a branch now updates Copilot straight away.
  • NewA public changelog (with an RSS feed) and this What’s new page.
  • ImprovedA change is checked against the version of the file you reviewed. If the file changed on GitHub in the meantime, nothing is overwritten and Copilot is asked to prepare it again.
  • ImprovedCommit messages can have a title and a body, and a brief GitHub error is retried once before a commit fails.
  • ImprovedCreating branches can no longer be spammed: one request at a time, a short pause after each, and a limit of 5 branches or pull requests per minute.
  • ImprovedThe site address now opens the overview. If you are signed in you go straight on to the Agent.
  • ImprovedThe GitHub card in Settings is easier to read and fits small screens, with a row for each connected account.
  • ImprovedThe Pricing and Getting Started pages describe themselves to search engines and AI assistants.
  • FixedThe Status page’s 24-hour view was missing the most recent hours (about the last 7) because the history was being cut off.

GitHub App linking and richer repository context

GitHub access now goes through the SolarGlyph GitHub App, and Copilot understands your repository better.

  • NewConnect GitHub by installing the SolarGlyph GitHub App and choosing the repositories it may use. Copilot gets a short-lived token for one repository at a time, and no GitHub token is kept in your browser.
  • NewPin up to five files per repository so they are always part of what Copilot sees.
  • NewCopilot starts with a short map of your repository (folders and root files), and the response shows a Repository context step listing the files it used.
  • NewThe repository dialog shows whether GitHub is connected, lets you add repositories or refresh the list, keeps your five latest repositories as quick picks, and says whether Copilot can commit to a repository or only read it.
  • ImprovedBranches and pull requests are created by the server through the app and appear in your audit log.
  • ImprovedSigning in with GitHub now only confirms who you are; it no longer asks for access to your repositories.
  • ImprovedNew SolarGlyph Copilot logo and favicon across the site.
  • ImprovedThe Agent page can be found by search engines, and robots.txt is lighter.
