GitHub Copilot's new agentic capabilities are enhancing the software development lifecycle, making it essential for Azure DevOps customers to migrate their repositories to GitHub for optimal benefits. Microsoft has provided tools and support for a seamless migration process, alongside improved integrations with Azure Boards and Pipelines, and the inclusion of Azure DevOps usage rights with GitHub Enterprise licenses. An upcoming Azure DevOps Model Context Protocol Server will further enhance interactions between Copilot and Azure DevOps data.

GitHub Advanced Security for Azure DevOps now allows automatic injection of dependency scanning tasks into pipeline runs for default branches, facilitating the detection of open-source dependency vulnerabilities.
