copilot-cli

Why we included this project

Anyone who does most of their work in a terminal will recognize what this is for: GitHub's Copilot coding agent, running inside your shell. You explain a task in plain language, and the agent works through it in the current repository, showing each action for approval before anything runs. Since it signs in with your existing GitHub account, it can pull in issues and pull requests, so you can pick up a tracked ticket and work it directly. It also extends through MCP servers and can use language servers for deeper code intelligence such as go-to-definition. One thing to weigh before adopting it: the license is a custom GitHub grant rather than a standard open-source license, and an active Copilot subscription is required, so confirm those constraints fit your environment.
