- Description:
- github-copilot-cli brings the power of GitHub Copilot coding agent directly to
your terminal. With GitHub Copilot CLI, you can work locally and synchronously
with an AI agent that understands your code and GitHub context.
Features:
* Terminal-native development: Work with Copilot coding agent directly in your
command line - no context switching required.
* GitHub integration out of the box: Access your repositories, issues, and pull
requests using natural language, all authenticated with your existing GitHub
account.
* Agentic capabilities: Build, edit, debug, and refactor code with an AI
collaborator that can plan and execute complex tasks.
* MCP-powered extensibility: Take advantage of the fact that the coding agent
ships with GitHub's MCP server by default and supports custom MCP servers to
extend capabilities.
* Full control: Preview every action before execution - nothing happens without
your explicit approval.

misc/github-copilot-cli: Add script and binary flavors
script flavor (default): existing behavior with all npm dependencies
binary flavor (-bin): C launcher binary with all JS and Node.js
embedded in the binary, requires only node at runtime
(no Node.js, no npm packages, no native modules)
Node.js SEA (Single Executable Application) cannot be used because
postject_find_resource() has no FreeBSD code path. The binary flavor
instead uses a C launcher that embeds all copilot JS files as a gzip-
compressed tar archive, extracts to ~/.cache/github-copilot-cli/v<ver>/
on first run, and executes them with the system node. |

Mk/Uses: Remove certs.mk
It was a useful shorthand for the security/ca_root_nss dependency.
However, several people disagreed.
Can anybody explain why libedit.mk is there? It is also a one string
substitution. Same with libarchive.mk. |
