Summary

Updated the Learning Hub to reflect GitHub Copilot CLI changes released in v1.0.79 (and its pre-releases 1.0.79-1 through 1.0.79-9, Aug 4–7 2026), gathered from the copilot-cli changelog and GitHub release notes.

New features/changes found

  • Plan-then-implement: --plan can now be combined with --mode autopilot to draft a plan and immediately implement it without waiting for approval (v1.0.79-7).
  • Sandbox auth settings restructured: /sandbox config dialog now groups git/gh/keychain settings under a new Auth tab; keys moved from sandbox.gitAuth/sandbox.ghAuth to sandbox.auth.git/sandbox.auth.gh — no migration, old keys silently ignored (v1.0.79-8, breaking change).
  • worktreeBaseRef setting: controls whether /worktree, /worktree new, and --worktree branch from HEAD or the remote default branch; all three now default to HEAD (v1.0.79-8).
  • New model support: kimi-k3 added to the model roster (v1.0.79-7).
  • Confirmed allowDevToolCachesallowDevToolAccess sandbox setting rename (v1.0.79) was already documented correctly.

Sections updated

  • website/src/content/docs/learning-hub/copilot-configuration-basics.md — added plan+autopilot combo flag usage, sandbox auth settings restructuring, and worktreeBaseRef setting; bumped lastUpdated.
  • website/src/content/docs/learning-hub/building-custom-agents.md — added kimi-k3 to the model selection table; bumped lastUpdated.

No new page was warranted — all changes fit as incremental additions to existing pages. Per instructions, the cli-for-beginners section was left untouched.

Source references

Note: External sites (github.blog, code.visualstudio.com, nishanil.github.io) were unreachable from this sandbox (proxy blocked), so this update relies on the official copilot-cli repo changelog and GitHub releases, which were reachable and are the most authoritative source for CLI changes.

**Plan-then-implement (v1.0.79+)**: Combine `--plan` with `--mode autopilot` to have the agent draft a plan first and then implement it without waiting for approval, instead of pausing after the plan for manual confirmation:

```bash
copilot --plan --mode autopilot "Add rate limiting to the API"
