Projektgeschichte

The public repository metadata records the official `github/copilot-cli` repository as created in January 2023. By 2026, GitHub Docs presents Copilot CLI as available with all Copilot plans, with organization policy controls for managed users.

Adoptionsgeschichte

Homebrew distributes the macOS package as a cask, matching GitHub's own release artifacts. The release stream is active, with stable and prerelease tags published through the official GitHub repository.

Wie es verwendet wird

Users start an interactive session with `copilot` or pass a one-shot prompt with `-p` or `--prompt`. The CLI supports ask/execute and plan modes, tool approvals, local and cloud sandboxing, GitHub.com workflows, custom agents, hooks, MCP servers, and programmatic automation.

Warum Paket-Nerds sich dafür interessieren

For package-history purposes, Copilot CLI is notable as an official vendor cask for a fast-moving AI coding agent rather than a traditional open-source utility. Its configuration and auth state live under `~/.copilot`, while binary releases are packaged separately for Homebrew cask users.
