pwsh-copilot

Use GitHub Copilot CLI in PowerShell 5.1 on Windows.

Install

npm i -g pwsh-copilot

Verify

pwsh --version             # PowerShell 7.5.4 (shim output)
$PSVersionTable.PSVersion  # Actual PowerShell version

Uninstall

npm rm -g pwsh-copilot
Remove-Item "$env:APPDATA\npm\pwsh.exe" -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue # Remove leftover shim

How it works

• Installs GitHub Copilot CLI (@github/copilot)
• Fakes pwsh --version → prints PowerShell 7.5.4
• Forwards all other arguments to the system’s powershell.exe
