In this fast-paced, demo-heavy session, you’ll see how GitHub Copilot CLI turns a vague idea into real code changes without leaving the terminal. We’ll start with a small repo and use Copilot CLI to plan the work, generate and edit code, and review changes, all in a quick, repeatable flow you can use on real projects. Along the way, you’ll learn how to keep Copilot predictable with slash commands (for things like repo setup and review) and how to feed it the right context (like referencing files directly) so it stays grounded in your codebase. You’ll walk out with a simple “terminal-native” pattern for going from dream → plan → build → done in minutes.

You will learn:

• Use GitHub Copilot CLI to move from idea to implementation in the terminal by prompting for a plan, generating changes, and iterating quickly in one workflow.
• Apply a few high-leverage commands and patterns (e.g., initializing repo instructions, reviewing/diffing changes, and using file references for better grounding) to make results more consistent and actionable.
• Keep the agent “on rails” by using predictable controls (slash commands/shortcuts and permissions-oriented workflow) so you stay in charge while Copilot does the busywork.
