Summary
When remote sessions are enabled, Copilot streams your CLI session activity to GitHub in real time. Remote sessions support all of the features you expect from the Copilot CLI:. Send mid-session steering messages, and new messages to keep the agent going once the current turn completes. Switch between plan, interactive, and autopilot mode, or stop your session entirely. Start a new remote session with copilot --remote, or enable it in an existing session with /remote.
