What is GitHub Copilot CLI

GitHub Copilot CLI brings GitHub's Copilot coding agent straight into your terminal. Instead of switching to an editor, you type a request and it can plan the work, edit files, run shell commands, and open pull requests on its own. It connects natively to GitHub, so it can read issues, work with branches, and manage pull requests without extra setup. You can pick from many AI models, including Claude, GPT, and Gemini options, and switch between them as needed. Plan mode lets you review a checklist before any changes happen, while autopilot mode moves faster with fewer stops. Every file change and command needs your approval first, so you stay in control throughout the process.
