Stacked sessions and pull requests in the GitHub Copilot app
EDITOR BRIEF
The excerpt describes using the GitHub Copilot app to work on an old repository with outdated frontend dependencies, including React 15, Less, and older react-bootstrap. The author tried to modernize the app’s styles and structure by asking Copilot to help choose between Tailwind and plain CSS, remove Less, and improve accessibility and responsiveness. It also mentions stacked sessions, where each task in the same repository builds on the previous one.
INSIGHTS
For learners, this shows how AI tools can help tackle legacy code step by step instead of all at once. A good next step is to practice writing a clear refactoring prompt and breaking a large cleanup into smaller tasks.
