Overview
Empower your applications with the intelligence of GitHub Copilot! The GitHub Copilot SDK provides a robust, multi-platform solution for seamlessly integrating Copilot's powerful agentic workflows directly into your apps and services. Leverage the same production-tested engine that powers Copilot CLI, but with the flexibility and control of programmatic access. Define your agent's behavior, and let Copilot handle the complexities of planning, tool invocation, file manipulation, and more.
