GitHub Copilot SDK on Azure

Step 1: Route

User wantsAction
Build new (empty project)Step 2A (scaffold)
Add new SDK service to existing repoStep 2B (scaffold alongside)
Deploy existing SDK app to AzureStep 2C (add infra to existing SDK app)
Add SDK to existing app codeIntegrate SDK
Use Azure/own modelStep 3 (BYOM config)

Step 2A: Scaffold New (Greenfield)

azd init --template azure-samples/copilot-sdk-service
Template includes API (Express/TS) + Web UI (React/Vite) + infra (Bicep) + Dockerfiles + token scripts — do NOT recreate. See SDK ref.

Step 2B: Add SDK Service to Existing Repo

User has existing code and wants a new Copilot SDK service alongside it. Scaffold template to a temp dir, copy the API service + infra into the user's repo, adapt 
azure.yaml
to include both existing and new services. See deploy existing ref.

Step 2C: Deploy Existing SDK App

User already has a working Copilot SDK app and needs Azure infra. See deploy existing ref.

Step 3: Model Configuration

Three model paths (layers on top of 2A/2B):
PathConfig
GitHub defaultNo 
model
param — SDK picks default
GitHub specific
model: "<name>"
— use 
listModels()
to discover
Azure BYOM
model
+ 
provider
with 
bearerToken
via 
DefaultAzureCredential
See model config ref.

Step 4: Deploy

Invoke azure-prepare (skip its Step 0 routing — scaffolding is done) → azure-validate → azure-deploy in order.
