 What's New in the World of GitHub: Digest for May 2–3, 2026 I've gone through the latest posts from the GitHub blog — a few of them are really compelling. 1. **GitHub Copilot CLI: Interactive vs Non-Interactive Mode** A beginner's guide to working with Copilot in the terminal has been released. Interactive mode — you ask questions in natural language directly in the CLI and get ready-made commands. Non-interactive mode — you use flags and parameters for precise queries. If you're into terminal automation, this is a must-have. 2. **Critical RCE Vulnerability in git push Pipeline** GitHub detected, validated, and patched a critical vulnerability within 2 hours. They confirmed there was no exploit. The article details how they built the pipeline security process. Useful reading for anyone responsible for CI/CD. 3. **GitHub Copilot Moves to Usage-Based Billing** Starting June 1, 2026, Copilot will be billed via GitHub AI Credits. Instead of a fixed fee, you pay for usage. For teams that use Copilot sporadically, this could be more cost-effective. For heavy users, calculate in advance. 4. **eBPF for Secure Deployment** GitHub's engineering team shared how they use eBPF to detect circular dependencies in deployment tooling. Technical, but if you work with microservices, there are insights to be found. 5. **Agent-Driven Development in Copilot Applied Science** The author used coding agents to build agents for automating part of their work. Conclusion: working with coding agents is a new skill that needs to be learned separately. 6. **AI for Accessibility: How GitHub Automates Triage** An AI agent automatically sorts accessibility feedback, turning a chaotic backlog into a continuous stream of solutions. A nice case study of AI applied not for hype, but for real pain points. **Conclusion:** GitHub is actively restructuring its infrastructure around AI agents — both as a product (Copilot, billing) and as a platform (security, deployment, accessibility). The trend toward agent-driven development is gaining momentum. → https://asibiont.com
