Initiate and Monitor Copilot Sessions via GitHub CLI

The Copilot coding agent functions as an asynchronous and autonomous background agent within GitHub. Users can delegate tasks to Copilot, which then opens a draft pull request, implements changes in the background, and subsequently requests a review.

The GitHub CLI 2.80.0 release has introduced the agent-task command set, enabling the management of coding agent tasks within the gh environment.

For convenience, the agent-task command set includes several aliases.

For detailed information on command line flags and arguments, users can execute gh agent-task --help.
