GitHub Subsequent has this cool challenge that’s mainly Copilot for the CLI (command line interface). You’ll be able to join their waitlist on the Copilot for CLI website.
Copilot for CLI offers three shell instructions:
??,git?andgh?
That is cool and all, however I exploit PowerShell. Seems these ?? instructions are simply router instructions to a bigger EXE known as github-copilot-cli. So in case you go “?? one thing” you are actually going “github-copilot-cli what-the-shell one thing.”
So this implies I ought to have the ability to 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.’
Now it isn’t good, however hopefully it’s going to make the purpose to the Copilot CLI crew that PowerShell wants love additionally.
Listed here are my aliases. Be happy to recommend if these suck. Word the addition of “person powershell to” for the ?? one. I’ll 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. A lot of prospects.
perform ?? {
$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
}
}
}perform git? {
$TmpFile = New-TemporaryFile
github-copilot-cli git-assist $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
}
}
}
perform gh? {
$TmpFile = New-TemporaryFile
github-copilot-cli gh-assist $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
}
}
}
It additionally then affords to run the command. Very clean.
Hope you prefer it. A lot of enjoyable stuff taking place on this area.
