GitHub Copilot CLI v1.0.82 Changelog

GitHub Copilot CLI is a tool that helps you write commands and code right in your terminal. This update is all about making the tool less frustrating to use—especially when you are waiting for it to set up a new workspace or trying to figure out why your login failed. It is a great quality-of-life update for anyone who uses the terminal for coding.

What's new

• Expanded plan view: If you are looking at a "plan approval card" (a preview of the steps Copilot wants to take) and need to see more detail, you can now press Ctrl+E on your keyboard to expand the card and view the full plan.

Improvements

• Clearer error messages: When your login fails, the tool used to just show you the /login prompt again without explaining why. Now, it shows the specific error—like "401 Bad credentials"—so you know if your password or login token is the problem.

Fixes

• Fixed a workspace switching bug: There are commands called /worktree and /move that set up a separate workspace (a "worktree") for you to work in. Previously, if you started typing a message while the tool was still preparing this space, it would break the switch and prevent you from moving into the new workspace. That bug is now squashed, so you can type freely while it gets things ready.
