GitHub Copilot CLI Hands-On: First Steps, Context, and Conversations

Chapters Covered: Overview, 01 – First Steps, 02 – Context and Conversations

--------------------------------------------------------

What is GitHub Copilot CLI and how can you get started using it?

In this first session you'll get answers to those questions and run your first Copilot CLI commands against a coding project. From there you'll learn about the three interaction modes that are available: Interactive, Plan, and Programmatic. You'll then learn how to give Copilot better context with the @ syntax, work across files and directories, and carry conversations forward across multiple turns and sessions.

With the skills you learn in this session, you'll be able to review and summarize existing code with context across multiple files, plan new projects, and generate code and documentation.

This is the first of four sessions that walk you through the GitHub Copilot CLI for Beginners course.
