github-copilot-cli.fish

Important

This plugin is obsolete as GitHub is sunsetting Copilot CLI: https://gist.github.com/idan/325676d192b32f169b032fde2d866c2c#github-next--technical-preview-sunsets

Make GitHub Copilot CLI's alias work for Fish shell. The current Copilot CLI in beta only supports bash-like syntax.

How to install

Via fisher

fisher install z11i/github-copilot-cli.fish

Manually

Copy the file conf.d/github-copilot-cli.fish to $__fish_config_dir/conf.d/ on your machine.

How to use

Because Fish shell does wildcards globbing, the default aliases shipped with the CLI do not play well. Therefore I changed ? to ! for all aliases.

• !!: Translate natural language to arbitrary shell commands
• git!: Translate natural language to Git commands
• gh!: Translate natural language to GitHub CLI commands

Use your own aliases

If you don't want the default aliases, what you can do now is to put these in your config.fish:

functions -e !! git! gh!

And use your own aliases, for example, to use ,:

alias , __copilot_what-the-shell
alias ,g __copilot_git-assist
alias ,gh __copilot_gh-assist
