Summary
In this blog, they'll walk through what GitHub Copilot CLI is, how it works, and how to. The GitHub Copilot CLI brings Copilot’s agentic AI capabilities right into the command-line interface (CLI), becoming like any terminal or console based tool you use (with the full context of your repos)! What makes agents so special is their ability to perform tasks like building code and running tests autonomously, so you can build iteratively. This means you can assign tasks to Copilot, focus on other to-do list items, and then review the results and request additional changes from the terminal—all without having to interrupt your workflow or switch tools. (You can even delegate tasks to Copilot Cloud agent from inside the CLI, more on this later.) Not surprisingly, the first step to using Copilot CLI is installation.
