Installs GitHub Copilot CLI from official release assets and persists shared ~/.copilot state across devcontainers.

"features": {
    "ghcr.io/sliekens/devcontainer-features/copilot-cli:1": {
        "version": "latest"
    }
}

This directory is bind-mounted from the host so that auth is preserved across container rebuilds.

Because Docker cannot bind-mount a directory that does not yet exist, consuming devcontainer.json files should add an initializeCommand to pre-create this directory on the host before the container starts:

{
    "image": "mcr.microsoft.com/devcontainers/base:ubuntu",
    "features": {
        "ghcr.io/sliekens/devcontainer-features/copilot:1": {}
    },
    "initializeCommand": "mkdir -p \"$HOME/.copilot\""
}

This feature is released under the MIT License.

The installed tool is subject to its own license: GitHub Copilot CLI license.

• GitHub Copilot CLI documentation

• Add trailing slash to bind mount source path to mark it explicitly as a directory.

• Use bind mount from host ~/.copilot instead of a Docker volume for persistent state.

• Initial release.
