GitHub Copilot CLI

This repository provides a Snap package for the GitHub Copilot CLI.

Disclaimer: This is not an official GitHub product. This snap is a community-maintained wrapper. It does not modify the original source code in any way; it simply clones the official repository and packages it for easy installation on Snap-supported Linux distributions.

How to use

For documentation about the Copilot CLI functionality itself or to report bug, please use the official upstream repository: https://github.com/github/copilot-cli

By default, snaps are strictly confined for security. If you need the Copilot CLI to access files, check the instructions at https://github.com/pfsmorigo/snaps/tree/main/copilot-cli#filesystem-access

How this snap is built

To ensure security and integrity, this snap follows a "vanilla" build process:

  • It pulls the latest stable source directly from https://github.com/github/copilot-cli
  • It packages the Python environment and dependencies into a confined snap.
  • No custom patches or external scripts are added to the Copilot source code.

Resources

The source code for this snap is available here: https://github.com/pfsmorigo/snaps/tree/main/copilot-cli

If there are issues with the packaging (e.g., file permissions, snapcraft errors), please open an issue: https://github.com/pfsmorigo/snaps/issues
