If you are new to the GitHub Copilot CLI, this video is for you! I know the terminal can feel like a learning curve (it was for me), but adding Copilot changes everything. You no longer need to memorize complex syntax—you just ask for what you want in plain English, and it does not even need to be spelled correctly! In my newest tutorial, I strip away the complexity and focus purely on getting you up and running from scratch. Here is exactly what we cover to get you started: 🔹 What the Copilot CLI actually is (and how it differs from regular Copilot Chat) 🔹 A painless, step-by-step installation guide using PowerShell 🔹 How to seamlessly integrate it right into your VS Code terminal 🔹 The core commands you need to start navigating and executing tasks with AI 🔹 Create and use your first Agent for a .NET code migration Once we have the basics down, I even give you a sneak peek into some advanced features—like Custom Agents and YOLO mode—so you can see what's possible once you get comfortable. Ready to stop treating your terminal like a typewriter and let AI do the heavy lifting?

GitHub engineer Brittany Ellich leveraged GitHub Copilot CLI and AI-assisted development to build a personal command center, consolidating fragmented digital workflows into a single interface in just one day. https://lnkd.in/eKJdFZ88

New to the GitHub Copilot CLI? I put together a getting-started blog post to outline how to get started! The GitHub Copilot CLI changes everything. You no longer need to memorize complex syntax—just ask the terminal for what you want in plain English. In my latest blog post, we get you set up from absolute scratch: 🔹 Painless PowerShell installation & VS Code integration 🔹 Managing AI context & models 🔹 Building a custom AI Agent to automate a .NET 2 to .NET 10 upgrade! Stop typing commands by hand. Take a look at the blog post today: https://lnkd.in/gxGecQ9X #GitHubCopilot #GitHubCopilotCLI #GitHubCopilotBeginner

Okay, this is pretty cool! GitHub Copilot's new inline agent mode for JetBrains IDEs is now in preview. It's exciting to see these tools evolving to integrate more deeply into our dev workflows, beyond just suggestions. Makes tackling complex tasks feel more collaborative. A definite productivity boost! ✨ #GitHubCopilot #DevTools

Pushing code is easy… Making sure it works every time is hard 😅 That’s where GitHub Actions comes in. It lets you automate your workflow: • Build your code • Run tests • Deploy automatically All triggered by events like push or PR 🚀 Read more here: https://lnkd.in/gmUXX5MM - By Octopus Deploy

The Github Copilot CLI updates for BYOK open up a lot of great opportunities for Mission teams to use these kinds of tools to really level up development. Here's a great primer on what the Github Copilot CLI is and how it works. https://lnkd.in/g7QTPjt6

GitHub is bringing remote control to Copilot CLI, letting developers run and manage coding sessions beyond the local terminal. The move mirrors what Anthropic already introduced with Claude Code, as both push toward agents that can run and be steered from just about anywhere. 🔗 Read the full story here: https://lnkd.in/gfP2iQQ7

I've been trying out GitHub Copilot CLI today, and no matter how many hints I dropped, including providing it an example of working code from another project, it kept saying that its code was correct and that any issue was external to the project. So I looked at the code and wow, what a mess. I identified the problem (and some other things that needed tidying) and wrote the following to Copilot: > i can still see usage of the ENV vars as well as a hard-coded redirect uri in the code when we should be now using rails credentials -- secondly, you're calling the get_token_set_from_callback wrong because you should be passing it the whole params object not just the code param It then fixed the issue that it was adamant didn't exist! Unfortunately I encountered another issue immediately after where it was trying to call a non-existent method, even though it previously researched the library. This is just one example of a repeated scenario I've encountered after getting Copilot to "one shot" an app for me. The bug-fixing is shots ad nauseam. Re models used: I created the app with Claude Opus 4.6, ran out of credits fixing bugs and switched to the free GPT-4.1, and hit the brick wall above. I have to say, the AI model companies definitely created a money-spinner!

I finally integrated GitHub Copilot CLI into my workflow, and the "context switching" tax is officially gone. Instead of jumping to a browser to remember how to undo a commit or filter logs by date, I just type: gh copilot suggest "undo my last 3 commits but keep the changes" Why it’s a win: Natural Language to Bash: It translates what I want to do into executable commands. Explanation Mode: It doesn't just give code; it explains why the flags are used. Shell Integration: Works right inside my existing terminal setup. It’s like having a Senior Dev sitting right next to my prompt. Have you moved your AI workflow into the CLI yet, or are you still a "Tab to Browser" person?
