PSCopilot

Use Copilot to suggest commands when using Powershell.

This is a project just for fun, don't take it seriously🤣

Requirements

1. Powershell 7.2+ with PSReadLine module installed (usually by default).
2. A valid Copilot subscription.

Use

1. Build the project.
2. Open Powershell in Windows Terminal. Import-Module {path to PSCopilot.dll}.
3. Request-Copilot, and finish the verification.
4. Now you can use PSCopilot. Press F2 repeatedly to get suggestions.

You can use this pattern to suggest Copilot:

echo "shutdown the computer in 60s"; (now Press F2)

(Maybe Write-Output is better than echo.)

(Optional) You can also copy all files to $PSHOME\Modules\PSCopilot and use Import-Module PSCopilot to launch PSCopilot.

Debug

1. Build the project with Debug configuration.
2. Open Powershell in Windows Terminal. Import-Module {path to PSCopilot.dll}.
3. Set-Copilot -dbg. Debugger Attach dialog will pop up.

FAQ

Why do I have to Press F2 repeatedly like a psycho?

PSReadLine Predictor mechanism does not support async suggestion. We have to return suggestions immediately. When you input or press F2, a query will be send to Copilot. The returned suggestion will be kept, and will be displayed when you press F2 again.

There are many useless suggestions.

Yes, it is silly🤡

To clear input history, use both Alt + F7 and Clear-Copilot command.
