You can now request a review from GitHub Copilot directly from your terminal using the GitHub CLI. Whether you’re editing an existing pull request or creating a new one, Copilot is available as a reviewer option in gh pr edit and gh pr create. There’s no need to switch to the browser.

How it works

Non-interactive: Add Copilot as a reviewer with gh pr edit --add-reviewer @copilot.

Interactive: When you select reviewers through the interactive prompts, Copilot appears alongside your teammates.

Faster reviewer and assignee selection

This release also introduces a search-based experience for selecting reviewers and assignees. Instead of loading all collaborators and teams upfront, results are now fetched as you type. This dramatically improves performance for large organizations and resolves accessibility issues where screen readers were reading thousands of options aloud.

Who can use this

This feature is available on all plans that include Copilot code review. Install or upgrade to GitHub CLI v2.88.0 or later to get started.
