Stop treating GitHub Copilot CLI like a chat window and start using it as a terminal-native teammate. In 20 fast-paced minutes, this session demonstrates a repeatable workflow for investigating code, creating an implementation plan, constraining tool access, delegating focused tasks, and validating results. Along the way, you’ll learn when to reference files directly, switch models, resume sessions, use custom instructions, and invoke Copilot non-interactively from scripts. Every technique is framed around one goal: getting useful results with less prompting and fewer surprises. You’ll leave with practical shortcuts and patterns that improve speed while keeping the developer firmly in control throughout.

You will learn:

• How to build a repeatable Copilot CLI workflow from codebase investigation through validation.
• How to select models, instructions, context, and session features for different development tasks.
• How to use Copilot CLI safely in interactive sessions, scripts, and automation.
