GitHub Copilot CLI
Esta página aún no está disponible en tu idioma.
GitHub Copilot CLI puts GitHub Copilot in your terminal as an agentic coding assistant. It explores codebases, generates code, runs commands, and connects to external tools — all from the command line, so you can stay in the flow without switching to a graphical editor.
Across these exercises you’ll install and authenticate Copilot CLI, then give it project context with custom instructions before using plan mode to generate a feature deliberately. You’ll connect the Playwright MCP server to test that feature in a real browser, then extend Copilot with reusable agent skills and custom agents. Finally, you’ll explore slash commands for managing context, models, and sharing, and wrap up with a review of what you’ve built.
