During the GitHub Copilot CLI private beta, users had access to a set of concise helper commands that enhanced efficiency and streamlined workflows. These included ?? for arbitrary shell commands, git? for Git commands, and gh? for GitHub CLI commands. The new public beta of the Copilot CLI seems to be missing these helpful shortcuts.
I am writing to request the inclusion of these shorter helper commands in the new version of the GitHub Copilot CLI currently in public beta.
BackgroundIn the private beta version of the GitHub Copilot CLI (accessible through @githubnext/github-copilot-cli on npm and detailed on GitHub Next), there was functionality that allowed users to quickly generate shell, Git, and GitHub CLI commands using the succinct ??, git?, and gh? commands, respectively. This feature significantly improved the developer experience by simplifying command invocation and saving time.
In the current public beta version of the GitHub Copilot CLI (gh-copilot), this functionality is not present, or at least not clearly documented. The absence of these shortcuts requires users to revert to longer-form commands, which is less efficient.
RequestI would like to request that these commands, or similar ones, be included in the new version of the Copilot CLI. They were incredibly useful in the private beta and would be a valuable addition to the public beta.
Additional ContextThe shorter helper commands were not only a convenience but also aligned well with the rapid command execution that developers appreciate. As someone who has been part of the private beta and experienced the efficiency these commands bring to the table, I believe their inclusion in the public beta will enhance user satisfaction and productivity.
