GitHub Copilot CLI

GitHub Copilot CLI brings AI-powered coding agents directly into your terminal for streamlined, context-aware development.

GitHub Copilot CLI integrates the power of the Copilot coding agent right into your command line, eliminating context switching. This tool allows developers to build, edit, debug, and refactor code using natural language prompts without leaving the terminal environment. It operates synchronously, leveraging GitHub context (issues, pull requests) via the pre-configured GitHub Model Context Protocol (MCP) server. Users maintain full control: every proposed action, such as file edits or command execution, requires explicit approval before running. Installation is quick via `npm install -g @github/copilot`, requiring an active Copilot Pro, Pro+, Business, or Enterprise plan.
