GitHub Copilot CLI for Fish Shell

q.fish

# Requires the GitHub Copilot CLI from GitHub Next
# https://www.npmjs.com/package/@githubnext/github-copilot-cli#installation-and-setup
# This needs to be set up as a function in your fish config. You can use `funced -s q` to do this.

# Options:
# q -g --git: Use github-copilot-cli git-assist
# q -h --gh: Use github-copilot-cli gh-assist
# Defaults to using what-the-shell (general command assist) if neither option is provided

# Completions for your Fish config:
complete -c q -s g -l git -d "Use git assist"
complete -c q -s h -l gh -d "Use GitHub CLI assist"

# Function code starts here:

function q
    argparse -si --name q g/git h/gh -- $argv

    set query "$argv"
    if not test "$query"
        # prompt user for input if no query is provided
        read --prompt "set_color --bold 6b75ff; echo -n \" What do you want to do? \"; set_color normal; set_color brblack; echo -n \u203a \"\"; set_color normal;" query
    end

    if not test "$query"
        # no query provided, exit
        return 1
    end

    set subcmd what-the-shell
    if test "$_flag_g"
        set subcmd git-assist
    end
    if test "$_flag_h"
        set subcmd gh-assist
    end

    # generate a file for storing the output
    set file (mktemp)

    # run copilot
    github-copilot-cli $subcmd --shellout $file "On Fish Shell: $query"

    if test "$status" -ne 0
        # copilot failed, exit
        return 1
    end

    # read copilot output
    set cmd (cat $file)
    rm -rf $file

    if not test "$cmd"
        # no command from copilot, exit
        return 1
    end

    # execute command
    commandline $cmd
    commandline -f execute
end

Thanks, works great!

works but output is bash-like, so most results won't run

@knoopx I prepended "On Fish Shell" to try and combat this but it's not perfect. Let me know if you have a different prompt that's more effective.

Could you please provide an example? I only used Copilot CLI for specific executable commands, so nothing shell specific.

Anything that loops over files like "convert all PNG to JPG"

Anything that loops over files like "convert all PNG to JPG"

I get this

$ q convert all PNG to JPG

 ──────────────────── Command ────────────────────

for file in *.png; convert $file $file.jpg; end

 ────────────────── Explanation ──────────────────

○ The for loop iterates over a list of items and executes its body for each, using the loop variable $file.
  ◆ The list of items is *.png which means all files ending in .png in the current directory.
○ The loop body executes one command for each file:
  ◆ convert $file $file.jpg converts the current file from PNG to JPG.

Which seems correct?

@WinkelCode certainly works now, ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
