copilot.nvim

A minimal NeoVim plugin for running one or more GitHub Copilot CLI sessions in terminal panes.

Requirements

• NeoVim 0.8+
• copilot on your PATH

lazy.nvim

{
  "analogrelay/copilot.nvim",
  config = function()
    require("copilot").setup({
      -- optional overrides
      -- cli_command = "copilot",
      -- split_direction = "horizontal",
      -- split_size = nil,
      -- editor = "nvim",
    })
  end,
}

Configuration

require("copilot").setup({
  cli_command = "copilot",
  split_direction = "horizontal", -- "horizontal" or "vertical"
  split_size = nil,               -- number or nil
  editor = "nvim",                -- exported as EDITOR for Copilot sessions
})

Each spawned session always sets EDITOR=nvim by default (or your configured editor value).

Commands

• :CopilotSpawn - Always create a new Copilot session and activate it.
• :Copilot[ session] - Without arg, jump to current session or create one if none exists. With arg, activate that session id or buffer number.
• :CopilotMenu - Show active sessions and activate the selected one.
• :CopilotClose[ session] - Close a specific session, or close the current Copilot session when omitted.
• :CopilotCloseAll - Close all Copilot sessions.

Session behavior

• Activating a session (spawn/menu/explicit command) makes it the current session.
• :Copilot with no argument always returns to that current session.
• If the current session is closed, the current-session pointer is cleared.
