Unfortunately, [it is time to say goodbye](https://github.blog/changelog/2025-09-25-upcoming-deprecation-of-gh-copilot-cli-extension/). 😢

• Thank you all for the time and consideration you took in trying out the extension.
• With your feedback, we were able to bring to you an even better, more powerful Copilot experience in the terminal.
• If you haven't done so already, we encourage you to:
• Give [Copilot CLI](https://github.com/github/copilot-cli) a try the next time you code in the terminal.
• +2 more changes

This release contains multiple security fixes for underlying dependencies including Go `net/http` package and GitHub CLI extension library.

• Prior to `v1.1.1`, `gh copilot` notified users about new releases:
• ```shell
• A new release of copilot is available: 1.1.0 → 1.1.1
• To upgrade, run: gh extension upgrade copilot --force
• ```
• With `v1.1.1`, these notifications will now be handled by GitHub CLI as [`v2.66.0` release](https://github.com/cli/cli/releases/tag/v2.66.0) introduced native support for extension update notices.
• This removes double notices that some users will notice.

Copilot free users may now use `gh copilot`. `gh copilot` uses the Copilot free chat limitations.For more information on usage limits, see the [Copilot usage limits docs](https://docs.github.com/en/copilot/managing-copilot/managing-copilot-as-an-individual-subscriber/about-github-copilot-free#what-are-the-limitations-of-copilot-free)

Resolved an [issue](https://github.com/github/gh-copilot/issues/99) where command line options from Copilot responses could be injected into some built-in shell commands, causing unexpected behavior.

Before `v1.0.5`, users who [set up optional helpers](https://github.com/github/gh-copilot?tab=readme-ov-file#set-up-optional-helpers) would experience an issue due to our metrics opt-in prompt causing their shell to hang.

• With `v1.0.5`, `gh copilot alias` will not prompt for metrics opt-in.
• Fixes https://github.com/github/gh-copilot/issues/40.
• Though the GitHub CLI does not officially support Android, `gh copilot` was building and distributing 64-bit releases for ARM and AMD distributions.
• +3 more changes

GitHub Copilot in the CLI now supports improved client-server routing based on your GitHub Copilot plan.

• For help troubleshooting connectivity problems, see ["Troubleshooting network errors for GitHub Copilot"](https://docs.github.com/en/copilot/troubleshooting-github-copilot/troubleshooting-network-errors-for-github-copilot).

This patch release focuses on quality of life fixes impacting users:

• GitHub Copilot in the CLI now supports multi-account users using `--hostname` flag or `GH_HOST` environment variable to specify the GitHub hostname for commands that would otherwise assume the `github.com` host.
• In order to better identify recurring exceptions since GA, exception reporting now captures the following limited dimensions only if optional usage analytics is enabled:
• GitHub host used _(`github.com`)_
• operating system _(`darwin`, `linux`, `windows`)_
• +3 more changes
