Copilot CLI drops new terminal UI
GitHub has released a redesigned, tabbed terminal user interface (TUI) for Copilot CLI, integrating issues, pull requests, and gists directly into the terminal. Developers can now browse, search, and reference repositories interactively without leaving their shell.
GitHub is doubling down on terminal-native developer workflows to minimize context switching to the browser. By packing issue management, pull requests, and native MCP support into a single terminal window, Copilot CLI is evolving from a simple command assistant into a fully-fledged agentic workspace.
- –A new tabbed layout partitions workspaces into Sessions, Issues & PRs, and Gists.
- –In-session configuration command /mcp lets developers search, add, and manage MCP servers interactively.
- –The /fleet command enables orchestration of parallelized subagents across different models to solve complex tasks.
- –A context-sharing feature allows developers to highlight issues or PRs and press c to drop them into the prompt.
- –Accessibility is enhanced with automatic screen reader support and multiple color mode options.
