From e274020c24a47935a5d1d294e96e3924aadad567 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Robert Justin Monzingo Date: Wed, 22 Oct 2025 04:45:49 -0500 Subject: [PATCH 1/2] Fixed the contradicting sentence MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Here the documentation states that copilot will not be able to edit specific excluded files that are configured. The next sentence then states it will “not” ignore them and it will have the ability to see and update them. I’ve fixed this contradiction so that now the documentation make sense. --- .../copilot/concepts/agents/coding-agent/about-coding-agent.md | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/content/copilot/concepts/agents/coding-agent/about-coding-agent.md b/content/copilot/concepts/agents/coding-agent/about-coding-agent.md index c7714ed7989f..4899c75df70d 100644 --- a/content/copilot/concepts/agents/coding-agent/about-coding-agent.md +++ b/content/copilot/concepts/agents/coding-agent/about-coding-agent.md @@ -140,7 +140,7 @@ Users can include hidden messages in issues assigned to {% data variables.produc * **{% data variables.product.prodname_copilot_short %} does not sign its commits**.
