display.dev for GitHub Copilot
Copilot generates the code. display.dev 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 ($21/user/month). Your PM, designer, and product lead don't have GitHub accounts.
- Push to repo and share a link – the link shows raw HTML source, not the rendered page.
- Screenshot – interactivity gone.
- Slack upload – downloads as a file.
The artifact took minutes to generate. It has no home.
From Copilot output to authenticated URL
Step 1: Install the CLI once
npm install -g @displaydev/cliStep 2: Publish the artifact
dsp publish ./copilot-output.html --name "migration-plan"Step 3: Share the URL
The link is permanent. Anyone with a @yourcompany.com email clicks it, authenticates once with their company Google or Microsoft account, and sees the full interactive page.
Works alongside your GitHub workflow
display.dev doesn't replace GitHub – it adds a publishing layer that GitHub doesn't have.
Keep using Copilot in your IDE and Copilot Workspace for code generation. When the output is an HTML artifact that non-engineers need to review, dsp publish gives it a home outside the git tree.
You can also publish from GitHub Actions:
- name: Publish generated artifact
run: dsp publish ./output.html --name "pr-${{ github.event.number }}-proposal"

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

Features
Viewers click a link and sign in with their Google or Microsoft account, or a one-time password. No app to install. No account to create. No IT ticket.
Inline comments on every artifact. Your agent reads them via MCP, fetches the current version, republishes with short_id and base_version, and resolves the thread. The artifact stays a living document, not a one-shot screenshot.
dsp publish ./file.html from your terminal, or one sentence in Claude Desktop. No git repo, no deploy pipeline, no project to configure.
Every artifact gets a URL that keeps working. Share in Slack, link in Notion, paste in email. It still works six months later.
No per-seat pricing at any tier. Share with your PM, exec, legal team, or designer for the same flat price.
Claude Code, Codex, and Cursor all work, along with anything else that creates HTML or Markdown output. The best agent changes. The home doesn't: your URLs, versions, and comments stay put when you switch.
Common questions.
Do viewers need a GitHub account?
No. display.dev 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.dev 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.dev 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.
Publish your first artifact in 15 seconds.
Free tier. No credit card. One-time password auth on free, Google + Microsoft SSO on Teams ($49/month flat).
