GitHub Copilot CLI: Slash Commands Enhance Control

1h ago·0:00 listen·Source: Let's Data Science

Summary

GitHub Copilot CLI now features built-in "slash commands." Developers can use these commands to control the terminal AI agent directly from the command line. What's interesting is that typing a forward slash brings up a scrollable list of available commands. These include actions like switching models with "/model" and inspecting token usage. You can also resume past sessions. Specific commands mentioned are "/clear," "/add-dir," "/cwd," "/model," and "/session." The "/model" selector even shows model capabilities, availability, and cost information. This new feature aims to improve speed, predictability, and auditability for developers using CLI-driven workflows. The bottom line is this update makes it easier to manage and interact with Copilot CLI, especially for those who rely on terminal-based development.
