If you still use Azure Repos and wonder whether it is worth migrating to GitHub, the reality is clear: Copilot already acts as a real agent, and its greatest potential is unlocked when the code is on GitHub.
Copilot as an agent
Copilot can now create and respond to pull requests, suggest code improvements, fix bugs, implement new features, and generate tests, summaries, and even tasks in Azure Boards. All of this with context, memory, and integration with your workflow, so that AI is not just an assistant but an active member of the team.
Why migrate from Azure Repos to GitHub
Microsoft and GitHub have made the migration much easier by offering tools that preserve the complete history, GitHub Enterprise Cloud options with data residency in the United States, Europe, and Australia, native integration with Azure Boards and Pipelines, and the advantage that the GitHub Enterprise license includes basic use of Azure DevOps along with official support and specialized services to accompany the transition. More than 200,000 users are already taking advantage of this integration.
If you haven't migrated yet
No problem. Even with repositories in Azure DevOps, Copilot already delivers value through Agent Mode in Visual Studio and VS Code, Next Edit suggestions, and automatic generation of code, tests, and documentation. It is possible to start reaping benefits right away without moving everything immediately.
Azure DevOps with real context thanks to Copilot
Microsoft is launching Azure DevOps MCP Server to enable actions such as summarizing work items with discussion history, generating structured test cases, reordering the backlog according to custom criteria, and breaking down stories into tasks with automatic titles and descriptions. All of this can be executed from Copilot Chat, by conversing with the AI so it operates directly on the backlog.
A combined ecosystem: GitHub and Azure DevOps
It is not necessary to completely abandon Azure DevOps. A powerful alternative is to keep the code on GitHub, use Boards and Pipelines in Azure DevOps, and connect everything with Copilot to achieve automation and AI agents. If you are looking to accelerate deliveries, raise code quality, and free your team from repetitive tasks, migrating to GitHub and activating Copilot is a recommended strategy. Start small, migrate one project, and test the flow to discover how much can be automated.
