Stacks

GitHub's new stacks are live in Conductor!

Stacks should Just Work™ in cloud workspaces. To use stacks with local workspaces, install GitHub's gh stack extension:

gh extension install github/gh-stack

Conductor Cloud: more speed, tools, and ports

Fresh sandboxes now initialize up to 1.5-3x faster, and existing workspaces open faster.

Cloud workspaces now come with the Conductor CLI preinstalled. Agents can use it to orchestrate work across Conductor, including creating workspaces, starting chats, sending follow-up messages, and monitoring their progress. You can encourage or disable use in settings.

New cloud workspaces now come with Google Chrome preinstalled. A new Forward ports button in the top bar lets you open services running in the cloud through a localhost URL.

Experiments

We're working on a new model picker and workspace creation page. Try them in Settings → Experimental and let us know what you think!

Improvements

• Workspace creation now opens on a dedicated page, with recent workspaces below the composer
• Cloud environment variables now live under Organization → Environment, with separate Personal and Shared tabs, and editing them no longer requires rebuilding your Cloud Computer
• You can paste a block of KEY=VALUE lines to add multiple cloud environment variables at once
• Organization environment settings can migrate variables configured elsewhere on your Mac, while variables from your Mac are no longer sent to cloud organization workspaces automatically
• You can now view, add, and disconnect connected GitHub organizations from the Cloud Computer repository picker
• You can select or deselect every repository at once when setting up a Cloud Computer
• Workspaces on a GitHub PR stack now show the current PR, let you switch between PRs, and report whether the stack is ready to merge
• Cloud Computers now include the gh stack extension, and agents use GitHub stacks when you ask them to create a PR stack
• Added Disabled, Enabled, and Suggested modes for workspace Conductor API access under Organization → General
• Cloud agents can now use the Conductor CLI without additional setup, see valid models with conductor models, and identify their current workspace automatically
• Conductor CLI links in agent output now appear as clickable workspace and chat pills
• Cloud workspaces now come with Google Chrome preinstalled
• Added custom provider credentials for cloud agents and Git identity settings for cloud workspaces
• Chats in sleeping cloud workspaces now load their history without waiting for the workspace to wake, and long chats catch up faster
• Improved app startup, workspace opening, and organization switching for organizations with many cloud workspaces
• Remote workspace diffs now load file changes without fetching entire files
• The experimental Pierre editor can now edit files in split and unified views, with comments available from the line-number gutter
• Workspace lists in the sidebar now expand in place in batches of 10
• You can now view collaborators and filter workspaces by person from avatar stacks
• Forwarded ports now appear in a dedicated workspace top-bar popover
• The workspace details popover now shows repository, status, and resources as rows and rounds agent costs to cents
• You can now rename cloud workspaces while they are initializing
• Conductor now respects GH_HOST from your shell when using GitHub Enterprise
• The Settings sidebar now keeps the organization switcher at the top
• Organizations that require single sign-on now show an SSO badge and prompt you to sign in when necessary
• New team members are now guided through onboarding automatically after joining an organization
• Browser sign-in now uses PKCE for stronger protection during authentication
• Legacy Cloud settings now show a migration warning and link to your organization
• Cloud workspace setup errors caused by missing agent credentials now link directly to agent settings
• Provider models now show their full names when you hover over them in the model picker
