GitHub Subsequent has this cool challenge that’s principally Copilot for the CLI (command line interface). You’ll be able to join their waitlist on the Copilot for CLI website<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Copilot for CLI offers three shell instructions: ??<\/code>, git?<\/code> and gh?<\/code><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

That is cool and all, however I take advantage of PowerShell. Seems these ?? instructions are simply router instructions to a bigger EXE known as github-copilot-cli. So when you go “?? one thing” you are actually going “github-copilot-cli what-the-shell one thing.”<\/p>\n

So this implies I ought to be capable of to do the identical\/comparable aliases for my PowerShell immediate AND change the injected immediate (have a look at me I am a immediate engineer) so as to add ‘use powershell to.’ <\/p>\n

Now it isn’t good, however hopefully it would make the purpose to the Copilot CLI staff that PowerShell wants love additionally.<\/p>\n

Listed below are my aliases. Be at liberty to recommend if these suck. Observe the addition of “consumer powershell to” for the ?? one. I could make a ?? and a p? the place one does bash and one does PowerShell. I may even have it use wsl.exe and shell out to bash. Numerous prospects.<\/p>\n

operate ?? { $TmpFile = New-TemporaryFile github-copilot-cli what-the-shell ('use powershell to ' + $args) --shellout $TmpFile if ([System.IO.File]::Exists($TmpFile)) { $TmpFileContents = Get-Content material $TmpFile if ($TmpFileContents -ne $nill) {Invoke-Expression $TmpFileContents Take away-Merchandise $TmpFile }}}
operate git? {$TmpFile = New-TemporaryFilegithub-copilot-cli git-assist $args --shellout $TmpFileif ([System.IO.File]::Exists($TmpFile)) {$TmpFileContents = Get-Content material $TmpFile if ($TmpFileContents -ne $nill) {Invoke-Expression $TmpFileContents Take away-Merchandise $TmpFile }}}operate gh? {$TmpFile = New-TemporaryFilegithub-copilot-cli gh-assist $args --shellout $TmpFileif ([System.IO.File]::Exists($TmpFile)) {$TmpFileContents = Get-Content material $TmpFile if ($TmpFileContents -ne $nill) {Invoke-Expression $TmpFileContents Take away-Merchandise $TmpFile }}} <\/p><\/pre>\n
It additionally then gives to run the command. Very easy.<\/p>\n

Hope you prefer it. Numerous enjoyable stuff taking place on this area.<\/p>\n
