Copilot CLI v0.0.420: Auto-Update & GitHub Refs
Copilot CLI v0.0.420 fixes auto-update to refresh binaries, improves plugin repo syncing, and adds GitHub reference support with # syntax.
TL;DR
- Auto-update now refreshes the binary executable, not just the JS package
- Plugin repos sync correctly after force-pushes and tag-based installs
- 502 errors retry automatically instead of crashing with raw HTML
New
- GitHub issue/PR/discussion references — Type # to reference GitHub issues, pull requests, and discussions directly in the CLI
- Improved copy hint — Shows cmd+c in Ghostty on macOS and right-click as a fallback for all terminals
Fixed
- Auto-update now updates binaries — Previously only updated the JS package; now refreshes the executable itself
- Plugin repo sync after force-pushes — Marketplace and plugin git repos now update correctly after force-pushes and tag-based installs
- 502 bad gateway handling — Errors are retried automatically instead of crashing the session with raw HTML output
Update with: copilot update or reinstall from the release page.
