Hey folks, had some conversations about this today so thought it would be helpful to be clear.
GitHub does not and does not plan to include advertisements on the platform.
We recently identified a programming logic issue in the GitHub Copilot coding agent that caused a ‘product tip’, including a third-party suggestion, to appear incorrectly in a pull request comment. This issue was introduced on March 24 during a rollout that expanded Copilot’s ability to contribute to any pull request when requested to by a developer.
As a result, a third-party link was mistakenly displayed in a way that could be interpreted as a promotion. Our goal was to share novel ways to use Copilot coding agent, and in this case, we highlighted our integration with Raycast as part of a broader set of product tips, but this was surfaced more frequently than intended alongside other feature suggestions. We have removed Copilot agent tips from all pull requests moving forward.
We appreciate the community flagging this and apologize for the error.
Говорят, им даже Raycast не заплатил за эту рекламу.
