Ever end up with a ton of staged files and need to split them into multiple commits? I built a custom GitHub Copilot agent that scans your changes and groups them into meaningful commits automatically. Here's a quick demo of the full flow — branch creation, commit grouping, and git operations in one go.

Here's the agent code: https://gist.github.com/Balastrong/10...

Feel free to suggest improvements!
