GitHub Copilot CLI is an AI-powered assistant that runs directly inside your terminal. Instead of manually writing commands, scripts, or debugging issues, you can simply describe what you want — and Copilot executes it.

Here’s the shift:

For Cloud and DevOps engineers, this becomes extremely powerful because most of our work already happens in:

• CLI (Azure CLI, Bash, PowerShell)
• Infrastructure as Code (Terraform)
• Pipelines (CI/CD)

Copilot CLI sits right in the middle of all this.

For example:

Instead of:

az group create --name my-rg --location eastus

You can say:

Create a resource group in Azure named my-rg in East US

Licensing:
GitHub Copilot CLI is available with all GitHub Copilot plans. If you receive GitHub Copilot from an organization, the GitHub Copilot CLI policy must be enabled in the organization’s settings.
