GitHub Subsequent has this cool undertaking that’s principally Copilot for the CLI (command line interface). You possibly can join their waitlist on the Copilot for CLI website.
Copilot for CLI gives 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 referred to as github-copilot-cli. So in the event 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 (take a look at me I am a immediate engineer) so as to add ‘use powershell to.’
Now it isn’t excellent, however hopefully it would make the purpose to the Copilot CLI staff that PowerShell wants love additionally.
Listed below are my aliases. Be at liberty to recommend if these suck. Word the addition of “person powershell to” for the ?? one. I could 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. Plenty of potentialities.
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 presents to run the command. Very easy.
Hope you prefer it. Plenty of enjoyable stuff taking place on this house.
