Enhance Your Productivity with Copilot Edits in JetBrains IDEs

Copilot Edits support is now released in JetBrains IDEs! This update allows you to quickly refactor, optimize, and iterate more efficiently across multiple files.

What’s new ✨

Use Copilot Edits to smoothly make changes in one or multiple files directly from Copilot Chat. To use Copilot Edits, click the Copilot Chat icon in the JetBrains IDE and start a new Edit session.

Benefits for developers ⚡️

  • Enhanced clarity: Obtain a clear overview of the modifications with a summary of the affected files and the proposed changes.
  • Ability to preview changes: View code diffs directly in your editor and decide whether to accept or discard these changes individually or collectively.
  • Boosted productivity: Save time and effort with the help of Copilot Edits, enabling you to focus on more complex tasks.

Get involved 🛠

We encourage you to try out the latest version of the GitHub Copilot plugin and share your feedback. Your input is invaluable in helping us refine and improve the product.

Decommissioned cache service brownouts

GitHub has migrated customers to a new cache service and will now be shutting down the old service. This process will include brownouts of the old service before turning it off completely on April 15th, 2025. If your Actions workflows are still hitting the old cache service, your workflows may fail during these brownouts.
The brownout dates and times are as follows:

  • April 1, 2025, 3 p.m. – 7 p.m. UTC
  • April 8, 2025, 2 p.m. – 10 p.m. UTC

You may still be using the old service if you’re interacting with the cache in one of the following ways:

  1. Using a third party action (i.e. not actions/cache) or product that uses an actions cache service to perform caching. In this case, you may need to upgrade to the latest version. Examples: mozilla/sccache, Mozilla-Actions/sccache-action, Docker with GitHub Actions as a caching backend
  2. Using a runner version older than 2.320.1
  3. Have manually changed (edited or removed) any of the environment variables below:
    • ACTIONS_CACHE_URL
    • ACTIONS_RESULTS_URL
    • ACTIONS_RUNTIME_TOKEN
    • ACTIONS_CACHE_SERVICE_V2

Modification to deployment permissions

GitHub is modifying how deployment permissions operate. Those with the deployment: read fine-grain permission can currently review, approve, or reject deployments.

As of April 1, 2025, GitHub will require the deployments: write permission to review, approve, or reject a deployment. Please update any impacted fine-grain PATs to provide write access where needed. Impacted customers were contacted via email in early March 2025.

Failure to update your fine-grained PATs by April 1, 2025 will result in the inability to review, approve, or reject deployments.
