Usage in GitHub Actions

This is a pattern for running an Artisan command in GitHub Actions where that command uses Copilot CLI. In GitHub Actions, stdio mode is typically the standard choice.

ā€‹
Install copilot directly

      - name: Install Copilot CLI
        run: |
          curl -fsSL https://gh.io/copilot-install | bash
          copilot version

      - name: Run command
        run: php artisan copilot:ping
        env:
          COPILOT_GITHUB_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.COPILOT_GITHUB_TOKEN }}
  • Install with copilot-install. The executable is available as copilot without extra path setup.
  • Authenticate with COPILOT_GITHUB_TOKEN. You can also use any auth method supported by Copilot CLI, such as GH_TOKEN or GITHUB_TOKEN.
  • The token needs Copilot Requests permission, so default GITHUB_TOKEN may not be enough.

ā€‹
Use gh command

GitHub CLI 2.86.0 added Copilot install support. Since GitHub Actions runners usually already include gh, you can use it without an extra install step. Most environments install Copilot automatically on the first gh copilot ... call, so running gh copilot version is usually enough.
gh version 2.86.0 (2026-01-21) https://github.com/cli/cli/releases/tag/v2.86.0 āœ“ Copilot CLI installed successfully 
      - name: Install Copilot CLI
        run: |
          gh --version
          gh copilot version

      - name: Run command
        run: php artisan copilot:ping
        env:
          COPILOT_GITHUB_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.COPILOT_GITHUB_TOKEN }}
          COPILOT_CLI_PATH: "gh copilot"
COPILOT_CLI_PATH has special handling only for gh copilot. Other custom values are not supported in the same way.
