GitHub Copilot CLI
https://github.com/github/copilot-cli
https://github.blog/changelog/2025-09-25-github-copilot-cli-is-now-in-public-preview/
GitHub Copilot can now also be used from the terminal. The CLI is currently in Public Preview. Supports Linux, macOS, and Windows experimentally (via PowerShell v6+).
By default, it uses the Claude Sonnet 4 model, but also supports GPT-5 via the environment variable COPILOT_MODEL=gpt-5
; there is no slash command to switch the model. AI response blocks can be expanded using Ctrl+r.
It uses the GitHub MCP server by default. Provides access to repositories, issues, and pull requests using agent queries.
