GitHub Copilot CLI now in public beta - programming.dev

Now they can also train their gray area trained model (trained upon our Github projects without consolidating with us if it was alright to do so) further!

By spying on every command you type in your CLI, and phoning home to MS about it, to train it further.

I guarantee you, If you use it, you’ll be their free training monkey.

And that’s one of the reasons why I won’t use it.
What are the other reasons?
  • it is available only in GitHub Copilot Business license, I have the standard one
  • I would rather just type the command instead of using ML to type it for me
  • if I don’t know which command should I use, I can just do a quick search and remember it for next time
  • I often have to use different machines, and it will be annoying to log in to github copilot every time
It is actually included in the standard license, just the documentation for enabling it is quite easy to misunderstand (it mentions several times that it's for business only, but what it means is needing to en ale it is business only. It's already enabled for standard users). Confused me too.
