Give GitHub Copilot CLI real code intelligence with language servers
GitHub has announced an update to GitHub Copilot CLI that brings real code intelligence to the terminal by integrating with language servers. The feature allows developers to use commands like `gh copilot explain` and `gh copilot suggest` with enhanced context from language servers, enabling actions such as navigating to a symbol's definition, viewing type information, and checking for errors. To use this, developers need to install the Copilot CLI extension and configure language servers for their specific programming languages. The integration aims to reduce context switching by providing code-aware assistance directly in the command line environment.
Developers can now access IDE-like code intelligence in the terminal, reducing context switching.
