A group of Copilot agents has been released to read the CI/CD system settings of the 8 type and convert to the workflow of GitHub Actions.
8 Types of Transition and Common Patterns.
The GitHub Actions Migration Agents released by GitHub include migration agents for Jenkins, Azure DevOps, CircleCI, GitLab, Travis CI, Bamboo, Bitbucket Pipelines, and Drone CI.
Another agent, Reusable Workflow Builder, detects common patterns of CI/CD in multiple GitHub organizations and generates reusable workflows.
Convert files to knowledge to generate workflows.
The migration process begins with the reading of the existing CI/CD configuration file. The agent lights the content into a knowledge base that includes platform-specific conversion patterns and responses to GitHub Actions.
Using the conversion patterns referenced, the agent generates a workflow for GitHub Actions placed below .github/workflows/ The result of reading the migration source settings leads to the configuration file used in the migration.
Verify the generated results and leave original settings and judgment records.
The generated workflow is followed by the actionlint verification process. The verification results are passed on to the report described in the transition provision request.
The results also include the original setup file and the .github/ci-archive/ to save MIGRATION-README.md. The report of the supply request describes the results of the verification as well as the necessary secrets, the following tasks and the referenced knowledge base.
Distinguish between the cloud version and the CLI version of the knowledge base.
The Copilot cloud agent version of the agent is placed in the enterprise's .github-private repository. The knowledge base used for the conversion is obtained via the GitHub MCP server when running.
The Copilot CLI version is available as a plugin and combines the knowledge base as a split skill. This is a configuration that uses the same transition procedure without gaining the knowledge base when running.
