Summary

The Copilot CLI is a powerful, model-agnostic terminal tool that orchestrates multiple AI models for code generation. This guide explores setting up the environment, securing folder trust, and integrating the tool into VS Code for rapid development workflows.

Key Topics

• Agentic Coding: This approach allows AI to go beyond simple autocomplete by performing complex multi-step tasks across multiple files. In this episode, it enables the CLI to understand and interact with an entire project structure.
• Orchestrator Pattern: By functioning as an orchestrator, the Copilot CLI ensures that the developer is not tied to one specific model's limitations, allowing them to optimize for accuracy or speed as needed.

Key Takeaways

• Install the Copilot CLI via npm or Homebrew.
