Local sandboxing for GitHub Copilot is now generally available 🙌
This allows Copilot to run commands in an isolated environment with controlled access to files, networks, system capabilities, and credentials so you have more granular control. It also gives enterprise teams a way to centrally manage policies.
Try it out in GitHub Copilot CLI, GitHub Copilot app or @code. https://github.blog/changelog/2026-10-07-local-sandboxing-for-gitHub-copilot-now-generally-available?utm_source=x-launch-local-sandboxing-general-availability&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=oct-7-event-oct-2026
