Getting started with GitHub Copilot Spaces

GitHub Copilot Spaces let developers bundle repos, files, issues, pull requests, and free-text instructions into a reusable, named context so Copilot Chat conversations no longer require re-pasting the same background information every time. The post walks through why Spaces exist (persistent shared context vs. Copilot Chat's per-conversation memory), how to create one at github.com/copilot/spaces, the two key ingredients (instructions as a system prompt, and sources like repos/PRs/files), a practical workflow for feature-specific Spaces, and a cost note: Space questions consume regular Copilot Chat AI credits and count against Copilot Free's monthly limit.
