What happened
The GitHub Blog has published a new tutorial aimed at developers who are new to the GitHub Copilot app.
The post walks through using the Copilot app to automate the triage of Dependabot pull requests, a task that often comes with managing library updates.
According to the post, keeping libraries up to date can be tedious, and the Copilot app is presented as a way to handle that repetitive work.
Why it matters
Dependency updates arrive regularly, and triaging each pull request by hand can eat into a developer's day. Automating this with the Copilot app could free up time for more productive work.
For beginners, learning to offload routine maintenance tasks to an assistant tool is a practical first step toward more efficient workflows.
