A cluster of security headlines says GitHub and its ecosystem were targeted via malicious automation: CI/CD commits, Actions cache poisoning, and a compromised VSCode extension that backdoored roughly 3,800 internal repositories. Researchers describe the tactics, scale, and practical steps to check whether affected repos were hit.

What is GitHub Copilot CLI interactive mode?

Interactive mode is a back-and-forth, chat-like experience. When you launch Copilot CLI with Copilot, you’re already in interactive mode—that’s the default. Non-interactive mode is a separate option for when you want a quick, one-off answer without entering a session. (More on non-interactive mode later!) In interactive mode, you can ask GitHub Copilot a question, review its response, and then either follow up with questions or another prompt—all within the same session. This is the mode for those who want to work hands-on with Copilot and iterate as you go. Here’s how to enter interactive mod

What is GitHub Copilot CLI non-interactive mode?

On the other hand, non-interactive mode is designed for speed and simplicity. Instead of having to enter a full session, you pass a single prompt right in the command line and get a response almost immediately, without needing to follow up with Copilot. Designed as an in-line experience, this mode is perfect for quick, one-shot prompts like summarizing a repository, generating code snippets, or plugging Copilot into automated workflows, without leaving your shell context. Once you get an answer, you’re right back in your terminal flow. Here’s how to enter non-interactive mode: Start at the reg

What is the header?

Setting X-GitHub-Stateless-S2S-Token on a POST /app/installations/:installation_id/access_tokens request overrides the server-side rollout decision for that single request. Header value Effect enabled Returns a stateless (JWT-format) token, regardless of where you are in the rollout. disabled Returns a stateful (classic opaque) token, even if your integration is already included in the rollout. (absent) Normal rollout behavior (i.e., no override). Any other value (true, false, 1, 0, etc.) is silently ignored and given the standard rollout behavior. The header is supported on the POST /app/i

What is procedural generation?

Procedural generation (or “procgen” as the cool kids call it) is a way of creating content algorithmically instead of designing it by hand. In games, that usually means levels, maps, enemies, or items are generated at runtime using a set of rules plus a bit of randomness. So instead of designing one dungeon, you design a system that generates many. That’s what gives roguelikes their replayability: Every run is different Layouts change every time Something Something In GitHub Dungeons, that system is tied to your repo. The layout is seeded by your latest commit, so the same code produces the
