Table of Contents
Usage
Simply launch Copilot CLI and run:
/copilot> /updateIf a newer version is available, it will be downloaded and installed automatically.
Comparison with Previous Update Methods
Before the /update command was added, you had to run a separate terminal command depending on how you installed Copilot CLI:
| Install method | Previous update command |
|---|---|
| npm | npm install -g @github/copilot |
| Install script | curl -fsSL https://gh.io/copilot-install | bash |
| Homebrew | brew upgrade copilot-cli |
| WinGet | winget upgrade GitHub.Copilot |
With /update, you no longer need to remember these — everything stays inside the CLI.
Checking Your Version
After updating, verify your version:
copilot --versionOr view the changelog from inside the CLI:
/copilot> /changelogRelated
