detect_shell will always return bash when this script is executed normally because the shebang runs it under Bash, so $BASH_VERSION is always set. This can cause persisting the alias into the wrong RC file for users whose login shell is zsh/fish. Prefer detecting the user’s interactive/login shell via $SHELL (or similar) first, and only fall back to runtime variables when the script is actually sourced by that shell.

The fish alias syntax here is Bash-style (alias name='value' with =). In fish, alias takes the form alias name 'command' (no =), so persisting this line into config.fish won’t work. Generate a fish-compatible alias/function definition when shell_type is fish.

This script cannot create an alias in the current user shell session when run as ./setup-ms-copilot.sh because it runs in a child process; alias ms-copilot=... only affects the script’s process and is lost when it exits. To make “available immediately” true, either require users to source the script, or output the alias command for eval, or install a real executable/symlink (e.g., into ~/.local/bin) instead of relying on aliases.
| 2. Run the setup script: | ||
| ```bash | ||
| ./setup-ms-copilot.sh | ||
| ``` | ||
|
|
||
| 3. The setup script will: | ||
| - Create an `ms-copilot` alias in your current shell session | ||
| - Optionally add the alias to your shell configuration file (`.bashrc`, `.zshrc`, or `.config/fish/config.fish`) | ||
| - Make the alias persistent across shell sessions | ||
|
|
||
| 4. Verify the installation: | ||
| ```bash | ||
| ms-copilot help | ||
| ``` |

The CLI setup instructions imply ./setup-ms-copilot.sh will create an ms-copilot alias usable immediately (step 3/4). Since aliases set inside a script don’t propagate to the parent shell, these steps will fail unless the user sources their RC file or starts a new shell. Please adjust the docs to match the actual behavior (or update the setup script to support source/eval-based installation).
