GitHub Subsequent has this cool venture that’s mainly Copilot for the CLI (command line interface). You’ll be able to join their waitlist on the Copilot for CLI web site.
Copilot for CLI supplies 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 if you happen to go “?? one thing” you are actually going “github-copilot-cli what-the-shell one thing.”
So this implies I ought to be capable to to do the identical/related 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 is not good, however hopefully it is going to make the purpose to the Copilot CLI workforce that PowerShell wants love additionally.
Listed below are my aliases. Be happy to recommend if these suck. Notice 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. Numerous potentialities.
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-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
}
}
}
operate 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 provides to run the command. Very easy.
Hope you prefer it. Numerous enjoyable stuff occurring on this house.
