We want to let GitHub Copilot see your entire repo when it comes up with its suggestions.Thu, 13 Oct 2022 00:00:00 GMThttps://githubnext.com/projects/incremental-codeql/https://githubnext.com/projects/incremental-codeql/The goal of the Incremental CodeQL project is to investigate the potential for incrementalization to improve the performance of CodeQL query evaluation. Instead of having to re-analyze the whole code base from scratch, incremental evaluation reuses the previously computed analysis results and only re-analyzes the parts of the code base that are affected by a program change. This approach can lead to significant performance speed-ups without the need to make any changes to the analysis implementation.Tue, 11 Oct 2022 00:00:00 GMThttps://githubnext.com/projects/testpilot/https://githubnext.com/projects/testpilot/TestPilot takes the pain out of writing unit tests.
