GitHub Next has introduced a project that extends Copilot functionality to the CLI through three shell commands. The project is currently in waitlist-only mode. However, these commands are simply aliases for the "github-copilot-cli" executable, which allows for customization. This realization led to the creation of PowerShell aliases that modify the injected prompt to "use powershell to." While not perfect, this serves as a demonstration of the need for PowerShell support. The provided aliases include "??," "git?," and "gh?," each with the modified prompt. Additionally, the aliases use a temporary file to execute the command and display the results, providing a seamless experience. The author encourages feedback and suggestions for improvement, highlighting the potential for further customization and integration with other tools like bash and wsl.
