GitHub Copilot CLI 101: How to use GitHub Copilot from the command line

GitHub Copilot CLI integrates the powerful AI capabilities of GitHub Copilot directly into the terminal environment, allowing users to generate, refactor, and execute scripts and commands without leaving their workflow. The CLI enhances precision and control by enabling natural language interactions, where users can instruct Copilot to perform tasks such as creating bash scripts, debugging code, and managing environments. With features like programmatic and interactive modes, it ensures user control by requiring confirmation before executing or modifying files. Users can extend Copilot CLI's capabilities by integrating domain-specific tools and workflows through the GitHub MCP server. Designed for developers who prefer working in the terminal, Copilot CLI automates repetitive tasks, helps learn new tools, and maintains focus by minimizing context switching. The CLI is available with GitHub Copilot Pro and Enterprise plans and requires Node.js and npm for installation. As it is in public preview, user feedback is encouraged to shape its development further.
