This session was originally submitted as an OSDBuilder v2 session, but what came out of our development was something we call OSDWorkspace.
What is OSDWorkspace?It's a VS Code Workspace, backed by Git, that allows you to customize and build a WinPE or WinRE boot image with the help of GitHub Copilot. We were lucky to demo this for NWSCUG in late March, and we have two videos to share to get you up to speed, so watch
OSD 2025 Preview and
OSD 2025 One More Thing to help you decide if this is the right session for you.
