GitHub Copilot has introduced an interactive canvas that makes it easier to follow, review, and steer the actions of the upgrade agent as it modernizes .NET applications.
The GitHub Copilot upgrade agent assesses the application, generates a structured upgrade plan, creates implementation tasks, and executes the work, according to a July 9 bulletin from Microsoft. Now developers can follow that workflow in the GitHub Copilot app through an interactive upgrade canvas. The upgrade canvas provides a live view of the modernization workflow as it unfolds, Microsoft said.
This agent upgrade agent starts by assessing the .NET application and identifying what needs to change:
What version of .NET is this application targeting?
Which NuGet packages need to be updated?
