Start and track GitHub Copilot coding agent tasks from Raycast 🤖
How it works
- Create Task: Kick off a Copilot coding agent job for a chosen repository and base branch using your prompt. The agent works in the background, opens a pull request and tags you for review.
- View Tasks: Track the progress of tasks you've given to Copilot, with access to live agent logs. Available as a Raycast command, and from the menu bar.
- Copilot Usage: View the remaining usage included in your GitHub Copilot subscription, including code completions, chat messages, and premium requests. Track your consumption and see when your allowance resets.
- Copilot Models: Use the models available to your Copilot account in Raycast AI Chat, Quick AI, and AI Commands. Auto lets Copilot choose a model for you.
- AI Assistant: Use the AI tools to help create tasks, search repositories, and get repository information through natural language.
Requirements
- Access to GitHub Copilot coding agent, available for Copilot Pro, Pro+, Business and Enterprise users. If you're a Business or Enterprise subscriber, an administrator will have to enable the feature.
- Authentication with your GitHub account with OAuth: The first time you use the extension, you'll be asked to connect your account, providing
repo, workflow and read:org permissions.
- Raycast Pro for Copilot Models: Open any GitHub Copilot command to sign in before selecting a Copilot model in Raycast AI. The model picker shows only models made available to your account by GitHub.
