GitHub Copilot CLI gains code intelligence via language servers
GitHub Blog·
GitHub Copilot CLI now offers enhanced code intelligence by integrating with Language Server Protocol (LSP) servers. This upgrade replaces inefficient methods like grep and decompilation with precise code understanding, enabling features such as 'go to definition' and 'find references' directly within the terminal. The new LSP Setup skill automates the installation and configuration of LSP servers, supporting 14 languages. This allows Copilot CLI to provide structured, accurate answers about codebases, significantly improving the developer experience by moving beyond basic text search heuristics for tasks like API signature reconstruction.
