The updates introduce recurring agent tasks and options for agents to help prepare pull requests for merge.

GitHub’s September 2026 VS Code changelog covers releases v1.136 through v1.140, shipped throughout September. The releases aim to streamline agent-driven development from implementation through pull request merge. Developers can use automations to run tasks hourly, daily, weekly, or on demand, starting with a template or their own prompt; automations are in preview. Agent merge, also in preview, can handle review feedback, failed checks, merge conflicts, and workflow reruns when enabled in an active session. From an Agents window session with Copilot, Claude, or Codex, users can open the pull request form. That form lets them revise the title and description, choose draft and merge options, and create a pull request.
