Summary
In this blog, they'll cover the two main modes of the CLI: interactive and non-interactive. Interactive mode is a back-and-forth, chat-like experience. In interactive mode, you can ask GitHub Copilot a question, review its response, and then either follow up with questions or another prompt—all within the same session. From the command line, type copilot and hit Enter. Copilot may ask you to trust this folder, because it needs permission to read and modify files.
