GitHub Copilot Sessions Can Move to VS Code With Context, Diffs, and Worktree Intact
GitHub has documented a handoff from a Copilot app session to Visual Studio Code. The workflow keeps the session context, changed-file diff, and the same isolated worktree, so a developer does not need to rebuild the task history in a new chat. This article explains the prerequisites and provides a practical review sequence: open the session, inspect the diff, edit locally, run the relevant tests, and decide separately whether to push. The feature is useful when agent work needs human judgment or local tooling, but continuity is not proof that the generated changes are correct. Repository permission, the same GitHub account in both applications, and an existing session with changes are still required.
