New CLI Integration

GitHub Copilot code review can now be requested directly from your terminal using the GitHub CLI. Whether creating a new pull request or editing an existing one, Copilot appears as a reviewer option alongside your teammates—no browser switching required.

Usage Options

The feature supports both workflows:

• Non-interactive: Add Copilot as a reviewer with a single command: gh pr edit --add-reviewer @copilot
• Interactive: When selecting reviewers through CLI prompts, Copilot appears alongside human reviewers for selection

Performance Improvements

This release also introduces a search-based experience for reviewer and assignee selection. Instead of loading all collaborators and teams upfront, results are now fetched dynamically as you type. This significantly improves performance for large organizations and resolves accessibility issues where screen readers had to read through thousands of options.

Availability and Getting Started

This feature is available on all plans that include Copilot code review. Developers need to install or upgrade to GitHub CLI v2.88.0 or later to access the new functionality. Existing Copilot code review documentation applies, and feedback can be reported via the cli/cli repository.
