The prompt-response model of AI may be reaching its limit. So what's next? It's AI that executes: taking actions, running workflows, and integrating directly into your tools. The new GitHub Copilot SDK makes this possible by letting you embed agentic workflows inside your own apps. That way, your app can act on AI output directly (instead of you having to copy-paste it). It comes down to these three patterns. 💡 ⬇️ https://lnkd.in/d4f3K-KW

Knowing a PR exists and knowing what's in it are two different things. Port now supports the GitHub MCP Server so developers can access pull request descriptions, comments, and commit history directly from Port AI, alongside the service ownership and scorecard context in Port's catalog. Platform engineers define exactly which GitHub tools are available. Read-only by default. Users authenticate with their GitHub credentials.

Ensuring a sustainable free, open source ecosystem is critical to the development, maintenance, and reliability of the anti-censorship and privacy-preserving technologies that millions of users in repressive contexts around the world rely upon. However, these internet freedom technologies should not be created in isolation; they are most impactful if other developers can easily and securely fork, improve, update, and integrate code into solutions addressing regionally-specific and ever-evolving censorship contexts and user needs. For the continued iteration and innovation of the open source internet freedom tech stack, there are foundational requirements around maintenance, quality documentation, interoperability, and reproducibility that must be met by projects committed to long-term sustainability and resilience. Open Technology Fund's FOSS Sustainability Fund is currently soliciting applications from established, free and open source internet freedom tools in need of support related to these foundational requirements. Details related to the full scope, eligibility requirements, timeline, multi-stage process, funding ranges, and other key information are available in the solicitation. We are grateful to GitHub for contributing to this round of the FOSS Sustainability Fund! Learn more and apply by May 7, 2026: https://ow.ly/GUw950YzaFf

Every dev knows unit tests are important ... and every dev has a project missing them. 😅 With GitHub Copilot CLI, you can quickly generate a robust test suite right from the terminal: 1️⃣ Enter plan mode (Shift-Tab) 2️⃣ Launch a fleet of agents on autopilot 3️⃣ Monitor progress with /tasks Check out how it works, and then try it yourself. 👇 gh.io/copilot-cli

⚖️ Landmark ruling by the Supreme Court in the Cox case: Internet service providers are not liable if they continue to provide internet access to customers knowing that some of them are infringing copyright. 🛜 This is an important decision for internet freedoms: If the previous ruling had been upheld, internet providers would have been incentivized to block access first and ask questions later, in an effort to avoid copyright liability. GitHub had filed an amicus brief along with other companies arguing for a balanced approach to copyright enforcement. The Court largely followed the arguments in the amicus brief https://lnkd.in/dvxec77d

AI inside Unity is getting real, and MCP is a big part of what makes it practical. In this Open Source Friday, we’re joined by Andy Tsen to talk about Unity MCP (Model Context Protocol for Unity). We dig into how MCP helps tools and agents talk to Unity in a structured way, what “context” means in a game engine, and how devs can start experimenting with AI-assisted workflows.
