What's New in Copilot CLI

This PR updates course content based on Copilot CLI releases v1.0.64 (2026-06-23) and v1.0.65 (2026-06-24).


New Features Found

v1.0.65

  • copilot skill CLI subcommand — Manage skills (list, add, remove) directly from the terminal without opening an interactive Copilot session
  • /skill alias for /skills — Shortcut so you can type /skill list instead of /skills list inside a session
  • /cd now persists working directory on session resume (advanced — not included)

v1.0.64

  • argument-hint frontmatter for skills — Lets skill authors show a short hint to users about what argument to provide when directly invoking a skill (e.g., /security-audit <file path>)
  • /branch as alias for /fork — Creates a copy of the current session so you can explore a different approach without losing your original work
  • /diff now works in non-git folders

Course Sections Updated

Chapter 05 — Skills (05-skills/README.md)

  • Replaced the single "Managing Skills with /skills" section with a new dual-method section showing copilot skill (terminal) and /skills (in-session), including copilot skill list/add/remove examples
  • Added /skill as a documented alias for /skills
  • Added argument-hint to the SKILL.md YAML Properties table with a beginner-friendly explanation of what it does
  • Updated the Example section to show both the terminal and in-session workflows
  • Updated Key Takeaways to reflect both skill management methods

Chapter 03 — Development Workflows (03-development-workflows/README.md)

  • Added a new "Branching Your Session with /branch or /fork" subsection inside Workflow 5 (Git Integration), explaining how to explore multiple solutions in parallel
  • Updated /diff description to note it now works in non-git folders
  • Updated the Workflow 5 summary line to include /branch
