The feature enables expanding/collapsing sub-issues while maintaining grouping, sorting, and filtering capabilities. Future updates will add inline sub-issue creation, drag-and-drop reordering, and synced ordering. Additional improvements include performance enhancements reducing issue load times, a new View menu, REST API endpoint for creating project views, and better pull request integration. 132 5 2. 2 [](https://daily.dev/posts/introducing-the-agents-tab-in-your-repository-pxgim2h3x "Introducing the Agents tab in your repository") Article GitHub Changelog · 32w Introducing the Agents tab in your repository GitHub has redesigned the Copilot coding agent management interface by introducing a new Agents tab directly within repositories. This tab consolidates agent sessions alongside code, pull requests, and issues, eliminating the need to navigate to separate pages. The update includes redesigned session logs with grouped tool calls, inline previews, and familiar diff views. Users can now resume sessions in the Copilot CLI by copying a command from the interface. The feature requires Copilot coding agent to be enabled for the repository. 52 3. 3 [](https://daily.dev/posts/selectively-showing-act-on-your-behalf-warning-for-github-apps-is-in-public-preview-7x5obb9ia "Selectively showing "act on your behalf" warning for GitHub Apps is in public preview") Article GitHub Changelog · 35w Selectively showing "act on your behalf" warning for GitHub Apps is in public preview GitHub has updated the consent page for GitHub Apps to remove the "Act on your behalf" warning when apps only request read permissions for user profile data. Previously, over 50% of app authorizations were for simple sign-in purposes, but users were shown alarming warnings suggesting broader access. Now, the warning only appears when apps request repository, organization, or enterprise permissions, reducing confusion for users signing in with GitHub as an identity provider. 10 1 [See all GitHub Changelog archives](/sources/github%5Fupdates/best-of) ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180},"sameAs":["https://twitter.com/dailydotdev","https://github.com/dailydotdev","https://www.linkedin.com/company/daily-dev-ltd"]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://daily.dev/#website","url":"https://daily.dev","name":"daily.dev","publisher":{"@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization"},"potentialAction":{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https://daily.dev/search?q={search_term_string}"},"query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"CollectionPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/sources/github_updates/best-of/2026/01#page","url":"https://daily.dev/sources/github_updates/best-of/2026/01","name":"Best GitHub Changelog Posts — January 2026","description":"The most upvoted GitHub Changelog posts from January 2026, curated by the daily.dev community.","isPartOf":{"@type":"WebSite","url":"https://daily.dev"}},{"@type":"ItemList","@id":"https://daily.dev/sources/github_updates/best-of/2026/01#items","numberOfItems":3,"itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"url":"https://daily.dev/posts/hierarchy-view-now-available-in-github-projects-9neqqqrze","name":"Hierarchy view now available in GitHub Projects"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"url":"https://daily.dev/posts/introducing-the-agents-tab-in-your-repository-pxgim2h3x","name":"Introducing the Agents tab in your repository"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"url":"https://daily.dev/posts/selectively-showing-act-on-your-behalf-warning-for-github-apps-is-in-public-preview-7x5obb9ia","name":"Selectively showing \"act on your behalf\" warning for GitHub Apps is in public preview"}]},{"@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Home","item":"https://daily.dev"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"Sources","item":"https://daily.dev/sources"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"name":"GitHub Changelog","item":"https://daily.dev/sources/github_updates"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":4,"name":"Best of","item":"https://daily.dev/sources/github_updates/best-of"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":5,"name":"January 2026"}]}]} ```
