Terminal and Command Palette integration

As modern development moves beyond just editing files, the terminal becomes a central part of the workflow. Whether you’re running build scripts, launching tests, or managing cloud resources, the terminal is often where real work happens. GitHub Copilot brings AI-powered assistance into this space, making it available in both the terminal window and your IDE’s Command Palette.

Using the terminal

In supported IDEs such as Visual Studio Code, GitHub Copilot offers direct integration within the built-in terminal. This means you can do the following:

• Ask for help crafting shell commands or PowerShell scripts
• Get explanations for cryptic commands or errors
• Generate one-off scripts to automate routine tasks
• Quickly fix typos or suggest alternatives on the fly

You don’t have to leave your flow to look up flags, syntax, or best practices; just use GitHub Copilot to boost your productivity...
