# GitHub Copilot

> GitHub Copilot CLI integration for GitHub-heavy teams using Conductor OSS.

Agent guide

GitHub Copilot is useful when a team already relies on GitHub-centric tooling and wants that CLI available as a native Conductor default for the repositories that need it.

Binary: `github-copilot`
Aliases: `copilot`, `gh-copilot`
Best for GitHub-heavy teams

## Set up GitHub Copilot in Conductor

**1. Install the GitHub Copilot CLI**

```bash theme={null}
# install github-copilot CLI in your environment
```

**2. Authenticate with GitHub**

Complete the GitHub sign-in flow required by the CLI before selecting Copilot for a workspace.

**3. Launch Conductor**

```bash theme={null}
npx --yes --registry=https://registry.npmjs.org conductor-oss@latest
```

Set GitHub Copilot as the default only for the repositories where that GitHub-centric workflow is the right fit.

**4. Configure the project default**

```yaml theme={null}
projects:
  my-app:
    agent: github-copilot
```

## Model selection in Conductor

GitHub Copilot model availability depends on your GitHub account entitlements, organization policy, and the Copilot CLI version installed locally.

* leave `agentConfig.model` unset when the Copilot CLI should keep using its default
* add an override only if your Copilot workflow exposes an explicit model switch and a repository needs that pinned
* keep Copilot defaults repo-specific instead of task-specific whenever possible

## Why teams pick GitHub Copilot

* strong fit for GitHub-heavy delivery flows
* keeps the CLI inside one orchestrated board
* avoids a generic shell fallback for a supported runtime
