Fixing code quality findings on a pull request

How Code Quality works on pull requests

When you open a pull request, Code Quality runs two types of analysis and posts findings as comments on the pull request.

1. github-code-quality[bot] findings: Code Quality uses CodeQL to perform a rule-based scan of your changes. These findings are posted as comments by github-code-quality[bot] and include a suggested autofix. Findings are labeled by severity (Error, Warning, Note), and administrators can set quality gates to block merges based on the severity of these findings.

2. Copilot findings: If your organization has Copilot licenses and AI features are enabled for your enterprise, Code Quality uses revisión de código Copilot to identify quality issues that rules-based analysis may not detect. These findings are posted as comments by Copilot, and include a suggested autofix. See Sobre la revisión de código de GitHub Copilot.

Resolving a finding

1. On GitHub, navigate to your open pull request.
2. On the Files Changed tab, scroll to a comment left by github-code-quality[bot] or Copilot.
3. Carefully review the comment and the suggested autofix for logic, security, and style.
4. If you agree with the suggestion and you want to apply the fix, click Commit suggestion, or Add suggestion to batch.
5. Alternatively, if the finding isn't relevant or actionable, you can dismiss the finding. For example, you might dismiss a finding that is in legacy code no longer maintained, is a known exception to your team's coding standards, or is a false positive that doesn't pose a real quality risk.
   • For comments left by github-code-quality[bot], click Dismiss finding.
   • For comments left by Copilot, click Resolve.

Delegating remediation work to Copilot

Como alternativa, si tiene una Copilot licencia, puede delegar el trabajo de corrección en agente en la nube de Copilot. Haga un comentario en la solicitud de incorporación de cambios mencionando @Copilot y solicite que Copilot corrija los problemas detectados.

Copilot responde con un emoji de ojos (👀) a tu comentario, inicia una nueva sesión del agente y abre un pull request con las correcciones necesarias.

Puede hacer seguimiento del trabajo de agente en la nube de Copilot.

• En el pull request, el resumen se actualiza conforme avanza el trabajo.
• Utilizando la página de agentes o los registros de sesión: consulte Gestión de sesiones del agente.

Necesita una Copilot licencia para invocar agente en la nube de Copilot.
