Utilizing GitHub Copilot CLI for AI in the Terminal
GitHub Copilot CLI is a tool that enables developers to receive AI assistance directly in the terminal. With this tool, developers can clone repositories, install dependencies, and debug issues with AI support.
Developers can now access AI assistance without leaving the CLI. GitHub Copilot CLI is available to users with GitHub Copilot Pro, Pro+, Business, or Enterprise plans, and can be used immediately after installation without managing API keys.
Copilot CLI helps in understanding project structures, verifying dependencies, and finding suitable issues to work on. Developers can receive explanations of project layouts and automatically complete environment setups with AI assistance.
Additionally, Copilot CLI drafts plans for issue resolution and allows developers to review and apply changes. Tasks such as writing code, drafting commit messages, pushing branches, and creating pull requests are streamlined.
GitHub Copilot CLI is currently in public preview, with user feedback shaping its development. The tool aids developers in maintaining a consistent workflow within the terminal.
