Come learn how to use GitHub Copilot CLI (command-line interface) to boost your development workflow.

GitHub Copilot CLI brings AI directly into your terminal window, enabling you to query databases, build apps, generate documentation, write tests, and much more - all using plain English. No more switching between your editor and browser.

This session follows a complete mini development lifecycle:
Connect → Build → Document

Format
(30 min) An intro to GitHub Copilot CLI:
what it is, how it works, and why it belongs in your workflow.

(60 min) Hands-on tutorials:
Tutorial 0 — Install GitHub Copilot CLI
Tutorial 1 — Connect to a database (Chinook DB)
Tutorial 2 — Build a CRUD app
Tutorial 3 — Auto-generate documentation for your project

Afterwards, we will demo Squad. This is a new approach for getting multiple specialized agents to work together to solve complex coding challenges.

Please come prepared with::

  • Laptop + charger
  • Internet access + ethernet network cable
