What's the best way to get GitHub Copilot in agent mode inside VSCode to repeatedly make modifications to be executed in a GitHub Actions workflow, check the results, then iterate until the workflow runs successfully? It's great at automatically building, running and fixing stuff *locally*

Might be easier to do that in Copilot on Github itself?

I mean, if you are relying on changes pushed to github, and on Github CI as source of truth for whether it works, it just seems easier to avoid local clone altogether, and let it keep working on problem even when you are offline. But that's just me.

Maybe I don't fully understand, would it provide a better way to repeatedly make and test changes to a GitHub Actions workflow differently from using a local git clone? It would still have to create a commit and trigger the workflow anyway?

It's slightly simpler because it doesn't need you to have local clone altogether, just iterates on the PR directly. Here are the official docs and explanation of how it differs from Copilot in IDE: docs.github.com/en/enterpris...
