Introducing grüt - a terminal file explorer with deep git + GitHub integration. File tree, syntax preview, git staging, diffs, GitHub PRs + Actions, and Copilot chat - all in one TUI. blog.jongallant.com/announcing-grut github.com/jongio/grut #dev #copilot

Announcing 'dispatch' - find, search, and relaunch your GitHub Copilot CLI sessions right from your terminal. blog.jongallant.com/2026/03/dispat… #githubcopilot

The gap between "Copilot can explain Azure" and "Copilot can do Azure work" just closed. Azure Skills Plugin: 19+ curated workflows + 200+ MCP tools. Same prompt, but you get a Dockerfile, infra code, and deployment — not directions. aka.ms/azure-plugin

This will be helpful to you if you use EMU and Public GitHub CLI on the same machine. Just point copilot at this repo and tell it to set it up for you. github.com/jongio/gh-publ… You'll have two Windows Terminal profiles one for each gh auth.

Here's the companion azd template for it github.com/Azure-Samples/…

Azure Skills - now has a skill to help your agent build services that use GitHub Copilot SDK - basically harness the power of GitHub copilot in your own services using GitHub or Azure models. Check it out here: skills.sh/microsoft/gith… #azure #copilot #aidev #skills

🚀 azd rest - Azure REST API calls without the token headaches. Provide a URL, it auto-detects the OAuth scope for 20+ Azure services. Auto-pagination, retries, pretty JSON. azd extension install jongio.azd.rest jongio.github.io/azd-rest/ #azd #azure #microsoft #dev

Azure MCP Server helps connect your coding agent to Azure. Nice to see it included in this InfoWorld article infoworld.com/article/412902… aka.ms/azmcp #mcp #ai #azure

`az group bulk-delete` is a new az extension that helps you delete azure resource groups in bulk. By default, it looks for any group tagged with `delete` - but is fully customizable and interactive. jongio.github.io/az-extensions #azure #dev

You can now install both of my azd extensions from a single location - jongio.github.io/azd-extensions/ 1. `azd app` (run and debug azd apps locally) - jongio.github.io/azd-app/ 2. `azd exec` (execute scripts with azd env) - jongio.github.io/azd-exec/ #azure #azd #dev

Copilot vibes

It's cool when you are deving and you see your coding agent actually use the thing you helped create and it was helpful. aka.ms/azmcp - for the Azure MCP Server - helps your coding agent dev Azure better.

3. `azd app test` - runs tests - including code coverage 4. `azd app health` - monitors app health - integrated into dashboard 5. `azd app mcp` - mcp server to feed app logs to any coding agent - super easy way to debug issues Much more coming soon!

1. `azd app logs` - streams logs directly from local OR Azure to dashboard or terminal - integrated with Azure Monitor, no special config required. 2. `azd app add` - adds common container config to azure.yaml, i.e. `azd app add azurite`

🔥 MASSIVE `azd app` RELEASE 🔥 v.0.10.0 0. `azd app run` - starts all your services and launches the most useful dashboard you'll ever see - I use it all day every day and love it Find out more at jongio.github.io/azd-app/ #azd #azure #microsoft

🚀 Introducing `azd exec` 🚀 Azure Developer CLI (azd) extension that allows you to run scripts with full access to your azd environment! If you have any scripts that dynamically load azd env you'll replace it with `azd exec`. jongio.github.io/azd-exec/ #azd #azure #microsoft

If you use the Azure Developer CLI and always wanted an easy way to run the app locally, then check out this extension I've been working on called `azd app`. It uses the azure.yaml that you already have. jongio.github.io/azd-app/ #azd #azure #microsoft #clouddev #ai #mcp

I built the Azure Developer CLI (azd) out of necessity while building Azure apps. The problem: 50+ shell scripts and a plethora of tools just to deploy one app. Now thousands use it to ship to Azure. Here's the origin story: blog.jongallant.com/2025/11/azure-… #azure #devex #azd

☁️ The story of how a quick prototype to help GitHub Copilot connect to Azure evolved into the Azure MCP Server and the foundation for Microsoft's MCP platform. #azure #mcp #github blog.jongallant.com/2025/11/azure-…

The latest release of @code includes the new "Agent HQ" - aka the Agent Sessions view. Here's a quick rundown plus a UI tweak you can make for a "unified" agent layout...
