Ask HN: How do you use Copilot in the CLI, App, and IDE?

4 points by EspressoGPT 15 hours ago · 1 comment · 1 min read


I'd like to have a uniform experience with Copilot regardless of the product – Copilot CLI, Copilot App, and Copilot in the IDE – but that isn't possible today. For example, the handy /review command of the CLI isn't available in the App. The App is nice and conversational, but can't navigate through code like Copilot in the IDE can. Copilot in the IDE is effective, but lacks several features of the other two.

How are you working with Copilot? Which products do you use? Especially those folks who claim that they haven't been writing code in months.

I mostly stick to the IDE version because the CLI still feels like a half-baked afterthought and the App is too disconnected from the actual codebase.
