Copilot CLI Guide
Install and login to Copilot CLI
DevMentorAI backend commands rely on an authenticated Copilot CLI session. Complete this once, then continue with installation.
Why Copilot CLI is required
DevMentorAI backend uses your Copilot CLI authentication context. If Copilot CLI is missing or not logged in, backend responses can be limited or fail.
Install Copilot CLI
Recommended method using npm:
bash
$npm install -g @github/copilot-cliFor OS-specific alternatives, open the official installation guide and use the tab for your environment.
Login step-by-step
Step 1
Open Copilot CLI interactive mode.
bash
$copilotStep 2
Inside the interactive prompt, run:
bash
$/loginStep 3
Follow the terminal instructions and complete authorization in your browser.
bash
$npx devmentorai-serverRun the backend command only after login success.
Quota and subscription note
If you do not have a paid Copilot subscription, Copilot generally includes a limited monthly premium request quota (commonly referenced as 50 premium requests/month).
If you have a paid subscription, limits and model access depend on your current Copilot plan.
To switch account or manage plan behavior, use terminal auth commands and review the official Copilot documentation.
