Question

A DevOps engineer is using the GitHub Copilot CLI in an interactive session and asks it to suggest a command to find and delete all log files older than 30 days. Copilot returns a command, but the engineer realizes it should also exclude files in a specific archive directory. Instead of starting a completely new query, what is the most efficient way to refine the result within the same interactive Copilot CLI session?

Accepted Answer

Choose the 'Revise command' option in the interactive prompt and describe the additional requirement in natural language

Answer

Exit the session and re-run the CLI with a longer, fully detailed prompt from scratch

Answer

Manually edit the returned command in a text editor since Copilot CLI cannot iterate on its own output

Answer

Select the 'Execute command' option and then pipe the output into a second Copilot query
