Lesson 5 - Publish the project

Publish the Space Quiz so you can manage issues, use isolated worktrees, and complete a pull request workflow.

In this lesson, you will:

  • initialize the folder as a Git repository.
  • create and push a public GitHub repository.
  • link the project to GitHub in the Copilot app.

Publish the repository

Send the following prompt:

Initialize this folder as a Git repository, create an initial commit, and create a new public GitHub repository named space-quiz in my account. Push the current branch and set it as the default branch. Refresh the project within this app so the GitHub project is linked.

Depending on your approval settings, the agent may ask for confirmation before it creates a repository or pushes code, or those actions may be approved automatically. With Approve all, do not expect a separate confirmation prompt. Review your settings, the requested action, and the destination before sending the publishing prompt.

After the agent finishes:

  1. Open the new repository on GitHub.
  2. Confirm that index.html is present.
  3. Return to the Copilot app and confirm that the project is linked to the repository.

Summary and next steps

Your project is now a GitHub repository. Continue to Lesson 6: Work with issues and sessions.
