## Description

With Copilot CLI, you can work with Copilot natively in your terminal, where you're already working, to request updates, run tests, and perform tasks. You can access your issues, gists, and pull requests, to speed development and ensure Copilot has the right information at the right time. Let's explore how to get the most out of the tool!
