Pull request overview
This PR adds support for installing prerelease versions of the GitHub Copilot CLI via the install.sh script. Users can now set VERSION="prerelease" to install the latest prerelease version.
Changes:
- Restructured version handling logic to support three cases: latest/empty, prerelease, and specific version
- Added prerelease detection using git ls-remote to fetch the latest tag
- Moved the default (latest) case to the first condition for clarity
💡 Add Copilot custom instructions for smarter, more guided reviews. Learn how to get started.
