Good morning everyone.
On September 25, 2025, GitHub has released GitHub Copilot CLI in public preview. You can use GitHub Copilot coding agent directly in your terminal and work locally with an AI agent that understands GitHub Context.
I have enabled the feature in our GitHub organization, so feel free to try it out.
What’s new:
- Terminal-native development: Work with Copilot coding agent directly in your command line — no context switching required.
- GitHub integration out of the box: Access your repositories, issues, and pull requests using natural language, all authenticated with your existing GitHub account.
- Agentic capabilities: Build, edit, debug, and refactor code with an AI collaborator that can plan and execute complex tasks.
- MCP-powered extensibility: Take advantage of the fact that the coding agent ships with GitHub’s MCP server by default and supports custom MCP servers to extend capabilities.
- Full control: Preview every action before execution — nothing happens without your explicit approval.
Getting started:
Install via npm: npm install -g @github/copilot
Authenticate with your GitHub account
