Copilot CLI

Copilot CLI is GitHub’s command-line interface for using Copilot as an agent in the terminal that can read, write, and run code in your local environment.

It works against your checked out repositories and GitHub context to explore a codebase, implement changes, and open pull requests. All this behind explicit user approvals for file edits and command execution.

The tool can be extended with Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers to add custom capabilities and integrates with existing GitHub workflows.
