GitHub Copilot will analyze your project&#8217;s codebase and provide detailed answers, including references to relevant files and symbols. The @workspace context helps you find the code you\u2019re looking for, understand how functionality is implemented, and much more. Here is a short demo of it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><div style=\"width: 640px;\" class=\"wp-video\"><video class=\"wp-video-shortcode\" id=\"video-120-1\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" preload=\"metadata\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"video\/mp4\" src=\"https:\/\/devblogs.microsoft.com\/xcode\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/87\/2025\/04\/Xcode@worksapce.mp4?_=1\" \/><a href=\"https:\/\/devblogs.microsoft.com\/xcode\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/87\/2025\/04\/Xcode@worksapce.mp4\">https:\/\/devblogs.microsoft.com\/xcode\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/87\/2025\/04\/Xcode@worksapce.mp4<\/a><\/video><\/div><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>New model support<\/strong>: New models including OpenAI GPT-4.1, GPT-4.5, o3, o4-mini, Gemini 2.5 Pro and Claude 3.7 Sonnet <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">are now available in the model selector of Copilot Chat.
