GitHub Copilot CLI brings AI assistance directly to your terminal, eliminating context switching between tools. Install it via npm, authenticate with your GitHub Copilot subscription, and use it for tasks like understanding codebases, checking dependencies, finding issues, implementing fixes, and managing Git workflows. The tool asks permission before executing commands, ships with GitHub MCP server integration, and supports extending functionality with additional MCP servers. Currently in public preview, it's designed for developers who spend significant time in the terminal and want AI help without leaving their command line environment.
