Clearer Build Optimization Results with GitHub Copilot
David Li
We know that slow builds are a consistent theme in feedback from C++ developers. Your feedback helped us to shape GitHub Copilot build performance for Windows, an agent that can trace your build, find bottlenecks, apply optimizations, and measure the result. When using the agent, the clearest outcome is a straightforward win. The agent changes your project, rebuilds it, and shows how your build is made faster. Sometimes, a change may make a clean rebuild slightly slower while improving the incremental builds you run throughout the day. At other times, we also observed that optimizations may help without reachi...

C++ Dependencies Without the Headache: vcpkg + Copilot CLI
Augustin Popa
At Pure Virtual C++ 2026, we build a C++ console app from an empty folder using CMake, MSVC, and GitHub Copilot CLI. This walkthrough shows a practical prompt sequence for dependency selection, reproducible builds, and controlled updates.

Faster C++ iterative builds with GitHub Copilot
David Li
Slow builds are a consistent theme of feedback from C++ developers. We built GitHub Copilot build performance for Windows so you can leverage Copilot to optimize your project’s build times. This workflow will find optimizations that bring your build times down. At first, we only measured the impact of build optimizations on full clean builds. While that number is valuable, we know that you are not rebuilding from scratch on most days. You edit a file and build, then repeat the process as part of your iterative loop. Working with customers after the public preview, we noticed that every now and then, the age...
