## Getting Started

New to GitHub Copilot? Start here to understand the tools available to you.

**Desktop App**: Explore the [GitHub Copilot app](github-copilot-app/) — a control center for directing multiple agents in parallel. Perfect for agent-native development and parallel work with isolated worktrees.

**Automations**: Start with [Using Automations in the GitHub Copilot app](using-automations-in-copilot-app/) for templates, setup guidance, and real examples.

**Canvases**: Learn [Working with Canvas Extensions](working-with-canvas-extensions/) to create and evolve interactive canvases with `/create-canvas`.

**Terminal**: Looking for a guided path into GitHub Copilot from the terminal? Explore the [Copilot CLI for Beginners](cli-for-beginners/) with a text-based experience or the [YouTube video series](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BDxRhhs36ns&list=PL0lo9MOBetEHvO-spzKBAITkkTqv4RvNl).

**Workshop**: Prefer to learn by building? Work through [Hands-on with GitHub Copilot's agents](copilot-workshops/) — a hands-on workshop with four harnesses (VS Code, Copilot CLI, Copilot app, and cloud agent) built around a shared Tailspin Toys backlog.

## Fundamentals

Essential concepts to tailor GitHub Copilot beyond its default experience. Start with
[What are Agents, Skills, and Instructions](what-are-agents-skills-instructions/)
and work through the full track to master every customization primitive. For delegation
and orchestration patterns, continue with [Agents and Subagents](agents-and-subagents/).
