Run code generation in the background with GitHub Copilot coding agents | GitHub Checkout
The GitHub Copilot Coding Agent now runs in the cloud, allowing you to offload complex tasks like "add comprehensive tests" to the background while you keep working. Tim Rogers returns to GitHub Checkout to demo how you can trigger these agents from GitHub.com, VS Code, or the CLI, and why model choice (like Claude 3.5 Sonnet or Opus) matters.
