GitHub Copilot for CLI for PowerShell

GitHub Subsequent has this cool undertaking that’s mainly Copilot for the CLI (command line interface). You may join their waitlist on the Copilot for CLI website.

Copilot for CLI offers three shell instructions: ??, git? and gh?

That is cool and all, however I exploit PowerShell. Seems these ?? instructions are simply router instructions to a bigger EXE referred to as github-copilot-cli. So when you go “?? one thing” you are actually going “github-copilot-cli what-the-shell one thing.”

So this implies I ought to have the ability to to do the identical/comparable aliases for my PowerShell immediate AND change the injected immediate (take a look at me I am a immediate engineer) so as to add ‘use powershell to.’

Now it isn’t good, however hopefully it’s going to make the purpose to the Copilot CLI group that PowerShell wants love additionally.

Listed here are my aliases. Be at liberty to recommend if these suck. Observe the addition of “consumer powershell to” for the ?? one. I’ll make a ?? and a p? the place one does bash and one does PowerShell. I might even have it use wsl.exe and shell out to bash. A lot of prospects.

perform ?? { 
$TmpFile = New-TemporaryFile 
github-copilot-cli what-the-shell ('use powershell to ' + $args) --shellout $TmpFile 
if ([System.IO.File]::Exists($TmpFile)) { 
$TmpFileContents = Get-Content material $TmpFile 
if ($TmpFileContents -ne $nill) {
Invoke-Expression $TmpFileContents 
Take away-Merchandise $TmpFile 
}
}
}perform git? {
$TmpFile = New-TemporaryFile
github-copilot-cli git-assist $args --shellout $TmpFile
if ([System.IO.File]::Exists($TmpFile)) {
$TmpFileContents = Get-Content material $TmpFile 
if ($TmpFileContents -ne $nill) {
Invoke-Expression $TmpFileContents 
Take away-Merchandise $TmpFile 
}
}
}
perform gh? {
$TmpFile = New-TemporaryFile
github-copilot-cli gh-assist $args --shellout $TmpFile
if ([System.IO.File]::Exists($TmpFile)) {
$TmpFileContents = Get-Content material $TmpFile 
if ($TmpFileContents -ne $nill) {
Invoke-Expression $TmpFileContents 
Take away-Merchandise $TmpFile 
}
}
}

It additionally then gives to run the command. Very easy.

Hope you prefer it. A lot of enjoyable stuff taking place on this area.
