npm install -g @github/copilot
$
A terminal coding agent powered by the same engine as GitHub's Copilot coding agent, able to plan and execute multi-step tasks while you preview every action before it runs. It ships with the GitHub MCP server by default, accepts custom MCP servers, and lets you switch models such as Claude Sonnet 4.5 and GPT-5 via /model. Run copilot inside a repo when you want to build, debug, and refactor with GitHub context; it requires an active Copilot subscription.
