GitHub Copilot CLI
Copilot inside GitHub's command line tool, for the parts of the workflow that never leave the terminal.
The assistant, where gh already was.
What it is sold for
Getting model help while working with GitHub from the shell.
Same shelf
The rest of terminal and cli, alphabetically. Sharing a category is a filing decision, not a relationship.
- Runs coding agents as long-lived workers with objectives and memory, so a session survives being interrupted.
- A small CLI that writes the commit message from the staged diff.
- Amazon Q in the terminal: completion for hundreds of CLIs, natural language chat and command generation.
- A replacement for cat with syntax highlighting, line numbers and git markers, paged by default.
- Puts a model inside the shell itself, so the prompt and the terminal are the same prompt.
- A searchable shell history that is project-aware, synced and encrypted, replacing reverse search.
- A virtual pet that lives in the Claude Code status line and reacts to what you are doing.
- exa did not answerA modern ls with colours, icons and git awareness. The site timed out; the project is now maintained as eza.
