Display for GitHub Copilot

Q: Can I publish from within VS Code where Copilot runs?

Yes. Open VS Code's integrated terminal and run `dsp publish ./file.html`. Or configure the Display MCP server for AI-native publish flows.

Copilot generates the code. Display is where your team sees the output. Publish any HTML file Copilot Workspace produces — architecture proposals, reports, dashboards — behind company SSO. No git push. No GitHub account required for viewers.

Copilot generates HTML. The sharing problem remains.

GitHub Copilot and Copilot Workspace generate HTML artifacts: architecture proposals, competitive analyses, technical reports, implementation plans. All rendered, interactive, and self-contained.

Sharing them is the same broken problem regardless of which AI tool generated the file:

GitHub Pages — private repos require Enterprise Cloud ($21/user/month). Your PM, designer, and product lead don't have GitHub accounts.
Push to repo and share a link — the link shows raw HTML source, not the rendered page.
Screenshot — interactivity gone.
Slack upload — downloads as a file.

The artifact took minutes to generate. It has no home.

From Copilot output to authenticated URL

Step 1: Install the CLI once

npm install -g @display-dev/cli

Step 2: Publish the artifact

dsp publish ./copilot-output.html --name "migration-plan"

Step 3: Share the URL

The link is permanent. Anyone with a @yourcompany.com email clicks it, authenticates once with their company Google or Microsoft account, and sees the full interactive page.

Works alongside your GitHub workflow

Display doesn't replace GitHub — it adds a publishing layer that GitHub doesn't have.

Keep using Copilot in your IDE and Copilot Workspace for code generation. When the output is an HTML artifact that non-engineers need to review, dsp publish gives it a home outside the git tree.

You can also publish from GitHub Actions:

- name: Publish generated artifact
  run: dsp publish ./output.html --name "pr-${{ github.event.number }}-proposal"
  env:
    DISPLAY_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.DISPLAY_TOKEN }}

The GitHub Pages gap for internal sharing

GitHub Pages works for public content or for teams where every viewer has a GitHub account. For internal HTML sharing, it has two blockers:

Private repo Pages requires GitHub Enterprise Cloud — $21/user/month. For 100 viewers: $2,100/month.
Every viewer needs a GitHub account — PMs, executives, legal, sales, designers. Most of them don't have one, and they shouldn't need one to read a migration proposal.

Display solves this at $49/month flat. Any company email authenticates. No GitHub account, no GitHub license required for viewers.

Common questions.

Do viewers need a GitHub account?+

No. Display uses your company's Google or Microsoft email for authentication. Viewers don't need a GitHub account, a Copilot license, or any developer tooling.

Can I publish from within VS Code where Copilot runs?+

Yes. Open VS Code's integrated terminal and run dsp publish ./file.html. Or configure the Display MCP server for AI-native publish flows.

How is this different from just pushing to GitHub Pages?+

GitHub Pages serves to anyone (public) or requires GitHub accounts + Enterprise for private. Display adds company-email authentication on top of file serving, without the GitHub account requirement or the per-seat pricing.

Can I share Copilot Workspace task outputs?+

Yes. Copilot Workspace generates HTML task summaries and implementation plans. Download them, run dsp publish, share the URL.
