Quick Start
This guide will help you quickly complete a Copilot task: from selecting the start method, viewing the execution status, iterating the solution, to previewing the update and publishing to the production environment.
Prerequisites
Before starting, please confirm:
You have signed up for and logged in to your EdgeOne Makers project account.
Your account has completed the GitHub bind.
Select Start Method
Start from a template
Select
Start from template to quickly start based on the templates provided by the platform and complete content replacement, style adjustments, or structural iterations with Copilot. If you are browsing the Makers template list, you can also directly enter through the Customise with AI entry.
Import a Github repository
Select
Import a repository to directly start from your existing GitHub repository and let Copilot understand and iterate based on existing code.
Select an existing Makers project
If you already have an existing project in EdgeOne Makers, you can select
Select a Makers project to continue iterating directly based on the current project. Alternatively, you can go to the project details page in the Makers console and enter through the Copilot entry.
Initiate Task
After selecting the project source, enter your needs to start. It is recommended to use clear objectives and well-defined scope descriptions. The more specific the description, the more stable the solution and execution result Copilot provides usually are.
View the task status.
After the task is initiated, you can view the task execution progress at any time. The running state includes the following:
Status | Description |
In Progress | task is in progress |
Ask | The task flow requires you to add information or confirm the issue |
Code Reviews | Created a PR or already merged |
Failed | Task execution failed |
Timeout | Task execution timed out. If the Ask message is not confirmed in time, it will cause a timeout. |
Archive | Task archived |
Solution Iteration
When you propose a change requirement, Copilot usually provides an executable solution first, then continues to advance code modification.
Ask
In some scenarios, Copilot will trigger follow-up questions via `AskUserQuestion` to clarify requirements, narrow down the scope, or confirm key decisions. Prompt responses to these issues enhance solution accuracy.
Continuously iterate
If the current solution or execution result is not meeting expectations, you can continue to supplement requirements in the same session, allowing Copilot to further adjust based on the existing context without restarting.
Preview Copilot Changes
After confirming the solution and completing code modification, the system will automatically deploy the preview result for you to review before the official launch.
Viewing code differences
On the task details page, switch to the
Diff tag page to view ALL modified files and line by line differences.Check environment variables.
If you are modifying based on a platform template and the template depends on specific environment variables, Copilot will guide you to fill in the configuration details.
Preview Online
Click Preview to view the effect of the selected site in the browser after the change. It is advisable to focus on checking the following content before release:
Does the page structure meet expectations.
Is the key interaction available.
Is the style consistent on PC and mobile terminal.
Is the copywriting, image and link updated correctly.
Publish to Production Environment
After preview results are correct, you can release the change to the production environment.
1. On the task details page, click the
Create PR button in the top-right corner.2. Copilot will automatically create a Pull Request in your Github repository including this time's update.
3. You can perform further code review in the Pull Request.
4. After the review, merge the Pull Request into the production branch.
5. Makers automatically triggers the deployment and completes the release.
