Power agentic workflows in your terminal with GitHub Copilot CLI

GitHub Copilot CLI, launched in public preview in September 2025, is designed to integrate GitHub Copilot's AI assistant directly into the terminal, enhancing productivity by streamlining various developer tasks. The CLI allows users to clone repositories, resolve server issues, and perform code reviews, all while minimizing the need to switch between different tools or search for documentation. It facilitates a seamless experience by connecting to the broader GitHub ecosystem, using commands to identify and resolve issues such as port conflicts or UI bugs, and delegating tasks to coding agents when necessary. The Copilot CLI supports headless operations for automation and scripting, offering flexibility with specific flags to control tool access and maintain human oversight on critical actions. Users can authenticate via interactive login or personal access tokens, with future plans for more enterprise-friendly methods. The tool is available across multiple platforms, including Windows, Mac OS, and Linux, and encourages user feedback through its public repository to continually improve the AI system.
