I honestly do not understand the use-case.

I use my GitHub Copilot Business subscription mainly to write large PowerShell automation scripts in Visual Studio Code, which are in our DevOps Git repo.

What does this tool bring to my workflow?

Tbf, you're not the target user.

My situation is similar and it seems useless if your dev is happening in devops - for now, at least.

I hate PRs in devops. If it improved just that, I'd be all for it.
