@Kphummingbird @PMelliebennett @_Evan_Boyle Sounds like it had to be enabled by an admin: "Note: If you’re a Copilot Business or Copilot Enterprise user, an administrator will have to enable remote control and CLI policies before you can use it." github.blog/changelog/2026…

@PMelliebennett @_Evan_Boyle @DanWahlin @PMelliebennett Thanks. We already have access to copilot. My question was for /remote feature added recently if and when it’s coming for github enterprise.

Remote control is now live in the Copilot CLI! Run Copilot on your local machine, leave it plugged in, head to the beach, and drive the agent from your mobile phone 😎

That's great to hear! Glad it's been working well for you. I enjoy using it too - used it quite bit this weekend actually. 😀 I don't have any specific articles to recommend, but I'd follow the CLI changelog account (@GHCopilotCLILog) as well as. @burkeholland and @_Evan_Boyle if you're not already. They're always posting new content about the CLI like the new rubber duck functionality (currently experimental) and other new and upcoming features.

@DanWahlin I have been really enjoying using GitHub CoPilot CLI on the Pro+ plan. Are there any articles or talks on great features that GitHub CoPilot offers that people may not be aware of?

Excited to share our progress on @GitHub Stacked PRs 🥞

Copilot CLI now lets you use any model you want. Here's what I learned setting it up. @googlegemma

@kdaigle @madebygps @mojombo Thanks for sharing your story @kdaigle! Good example of how some of the biggest disappointments in life can lead to rewarding career changes in the long run.

Happy 🍰 Day, GitHub! I'm celebrating our birthday with the story about how defunkt, co-founder of GitHub, turned me down for a job 18 years ago after their launch... but it all worked out. 🤣 On this day 18 years ago, GitHub was officially launched by defunkt, @mojombo, @chacon, and @pjhyett. We actually still host the initial blog that launched the app: github.blog/news-insights/… Two months later, GitHub was looking for a developer who would do support and help their early users. I applied as I loved GitHub, was a Rails dev as the early Hubbers were, and was excited to join in on the GitHub mission. After answering questions and a bit of back and forth... I got rejected. (It was the right call, and they hired someone awesome for that role.) In 2013, I ended up joining GitHub as a developer working on our internal tools and the rest is history now but it's always funny to see how these things work out. Dug out the rejection email to share. 👇

@Triamus1 Great to hear - thank you! Glad it's been useful.

Excellent course!

Looking forward to these events starting next week (4 total sessions)! 🚀 Come dive into Copilot CLI with us and see what it can do. @chris_noring and I will start from the basics and work up through working with slash commands, managing context, using agents, skills, MCP, and more. ✨ Everything covered will be from the new GitHub Copilot CLI for Beginners course: 👉 github.com/github/copilot… Note that all 4 sessions will run in the APAC time zone as well if that fits your schedule better. Renee Noble, Aaron Powell, and David Glover will be leading those sessions (details in the page below).

@burkeholland Exactly my experience. Wasn't a fan at all early on but now it does everything I need, has a clean interface, and is super simple to use. Feels way less cluttered than the other options out there.

@DanWahlin I used to hate it. I was really hard on it. Then at some point it got really great. It’s like, minimal, but also packed with tons of features. The UX is just really well done.

As someone who uses both Slack and Teams for work every single day... Teams is better. It's more logical, less noisy, threads don't just disappear, you can find things, the AI integration is actually great. I'm sorry. Teams is just better.

@Falconve_ Running both right now on a box to compare and have been really impressed with Hermes so far. Had good success with OpenClaw as well, but really liking Hermes so far.

been seeing a lot of people switching from OpenClaw to Hermes. here's my honest take after running both in production for a month 🧵

Hey I love dumping on my company as much as the next guy, because Microsoft does some dumb stuff, but sometimes it's just check emails and verify your accounts. Not every "WTF micro$oft" moment is a slam dunk. I've emailed VeraCrypt personally and we'll get him unblocked. I've already talked to Jason at WireGuard. Not everything is a conspiracy, sometimes it's literally paperwork.

We'll be doing 4 live "hands-on" sessions on GitHub Copilot CLI starting next week in both US/EU and APAC time zones. If you're interested in learning more about it and what it can do come join us! ✨ 👉 developer.microsoft.com/reactor/series…

if you want to learn agent-first development from scratch, we just published the foundational series on how to do so with @code and GitHub Copilot. we cover: model picker thinking effort levels, tool call approvals, bypass/autopilot modes, inline diffs with per-edit keep/undo, checkpoint restore, session forking, context window management, agent debug logs, cloud agents and more! all here: aka.ms/vsc-learn youtu.be/uu4sf8z9n8c?si…

Introducing RubberDuck in Copilot CLI: a new builtin subagent for cross model family escalations. Sonnet will now proactively solicit input from GPT 5.4 and vice versa. In our most difficult benchmark subsets, this results in a massive 5% improvement in resolution rates

I had two repo tasks I kept putting off because they needed quite a bit of logic and judgment, not just a cron job. 🗓️ Wrote markdown instructions, compiled them into GitHub Actions, and now an agent opens PRs for me. ✨ Here's what I learned about GitHub Agentic Workflows 👇 blog.codewithdan.com/github-agentic…
