Copilot CLI

We need to install GitHub CLI first. I would like to install it from Github’s package repository for immediate access to the latest releases:

sudo dnf install 'dnf-command(config-manager)'

sudo dnf config-manager --add-repo https://cli.github.com/packages/rpm/gh-cli.repo

sudo dnf install gh

Now, we can install Copilot in the CLI. First, we need to authenticate our Github account:

gh auth login

After authenticating our account, we need to install copilot as a Github CLI extension:

gh extension install github/gh-copilot

If you see a successful installation message, then we are all set. If you would like to upgrade Copilot CLI, here is the command:

gh extension upgrade gh-copilot

The Copilot CLI extension’s command is a bit long so that we can use the power of aliases in Linux. If you followed my My Fedora (Gnome) Setup article,
