|
||
|
||
The {% data variables.product.github %} integration in Microsoft Teams allows you to interact with {% data variables.copilot.copilot_coding_agent %} all from within your Teams channels. From within a Teams thread you can initiate {% data variables.copilot.copilot_coding_agent_short %} sessions and open pull requests, using the context of your conversation.
|
||
|
||
> [!NOTE]
|
||
> When you mention @{% data variables.product.github %} in a Teams thread, the agent will capture the entire thread as context for your request, understanding and implementing solutions based on the discussion. This context is stored in the pull request.
|
||
|
||
## Prerequisites
|
||
|
||
* You must have a {% data variables.product.github %} account with access to {% data variables.product.prodname_copilot_short %} through {% data variables.copilot.copilot_pro_short %}, {% data variables.copilot.copilot_pro_plus_short %}, {% data variables.copilot.copilot_business_short %}, or {% data variables.copilot.copilot_enterprise_short %}.
|
||
* You must have a Teams account and be a member of a channel.
|
||
|
||
## Installing the {% data variables.product.github %} app in Teams
|
||
|
||
The {% data variables.product.github %} app only needs to be installed once in a team. After the app is installed, any member of the team can connect their {% data variables.product.github %} account to the app and start using it.
|
||
|
||
1. Open the [{% data variables.product.github %} integration installation link](https://teams.microsoft.com/l/app/836ecc9e-6dca-4696-a2e9-15e252cd3f31) in your web browser to launch Teams and the installation dialog.
|
||
1. Click **Add** to add the app to your team.
|
||
1. Follow the prompts on screen to authenticate and authorize the app.
|
||
|
||
## Connecting the {% data variables.product.github %} app to your {% data variables.product.github %} account
|
||
|
||
The first time you use the {% data variables.product.github %} app in Teams, you need to connect it to your {% data variables.product.github %} account and set a default repository. The default repository provides the context that {% data variables.product.prodname_copilot_short %} uses when responding to prompts, and it’s also where pull requests created by {% data variables.copilot.copilot_coding_agent %} sessions will be opened unless you specify a repository in your prompt.
|
||
|
||
To get started, mention `@{% data variables.product.github %} <YOUR_TASK>` in any Teams thread. The app will guide you through signing in and setting a default repository. Or you can connect your {% data variables.product.github %} account and set the default repository manually by following these steps:
|
||
|
||
1. In Teams, mention the app in a thread by typing `@{% data variables.product.github %}`.
|
||
1. Click **signin** from the list of suggestions.
|
||
1. Follow the prompts to sign in to your {% data variables.product.github %} account.
|
||
1. In the thread, mention the app by typing `@{% data variables.product.github %}`.
|
||
1. Click **settings** to set the default repository.
|
||
|
||
## Using the {% data variables.product.prodname_copilot_short %} app in Teams
|
||
|
||
You can interact with the {% data variables.product.github %} app in Teams by mentioning it in a thread. The agent will respond to your messages and perform tasks based on your requests. Only users with **write** access to the default repository—or the repository specified in their prompt—can trigger {% data variables.copilot.copilot_coding_agent %} to work. Contributors to the thread without **write** access can help guide {% data variables.product.prodname_copilot_short %} by providing input to the conversation, which will be used as context when making changes in the pull request.
|
||
|
||
1. In Teams, mention the app in a thread by typing @{% data variables.product.github %}.
|
||
1. Type your message or request, then send it. Optionally, you can specify a repository or branch using the following syntax:
|
||
|
||
```text
|
||
@GitHub Add "Hello World" to the README in repo=REPO_OWNER/REPO_NAME branch=BRANCH_NAME
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
The `repo` parameter tells {% data variables.copilot.copilot_coding_agent %} which repository to use for the request, and the `branch` parameter specifies an existing branch of the repository that should be used as the base branch for a pull request. By default, {% data variables.product.prodname_copilot_short %} uses your configured default repository and the repository’s default branch.
|
||
|
||
{% data variables.product.prodname_copilot_short %} will initiate a {% data variables.copilot.copilot_coding_agent_short %} session and respond with a summary of the changes it plans to make, including a link to the pull request it has created in the repository.
|
||
|
||
You can continue to iterate on the pull request in the same Teams thread. Mention @{% data variables.product.github %} with your suggested change, and the {% data variables.copilot.copilot_coding_agent %} will use all of the messages in the thread since the previous mention to iterate on the existing pull request.
