Summary

Adds a GitHub Copilot app docs page that showcases the hosted launcher URL contract for opening the app from links.

The new page includes:

  • The customer-facing hosted launcher URL shape:

    https://github.com/copilot/app/launch?open=ENCODED_APP_LINK
    
  • A complete app-link reference table for available ghapp:// targets, including home, chats, My work, repository setup, issues, pull requests, agent task resume, automations, legacy workflow fallbacks, recent workspaces, app-local sessions, session creation, and plugin setup links.

  • Parameter reference tables for session creation, automation drafts/modes, and plugin setup sources.

  • Copy-pastable launcher examples for repository, issue, pull request, agent task resume, and automation links.

Validation

  • npm run lint-content -- --paths content/copilot/how-tos/github-copilot-app/index.md content/copilot/how-tos/github-copilot-app/open-from-github.md
  • npx --no-install prettier -c content/copilot/how-tos/github-copilot-app/index.md content/copilot/how-tos/github-copilot-app/open-from-github.md
  • git diff --check
  • pre-commit lint-content --precommit --paths
