GitHub app in Microsoft Teams
The GitHub app in Microsoft Teams combines GitHub notifications with Copilot actions in channels, group chats, and private chats. Users can mention GitHub to act on an issue notification, including investigating an issue, fixing a bug, and creating a pull request.
What it does
Teams can use the app to turn issue notifications into proposed code fixes and pull requests without leaving the conversation.
