"GitHub Copilot" encompasses so many different products now that it's hard to see it as a CLI tool.

It doesn't make a lot of sense that they'll compare Microsoft 365 Copilot with Claude Code, though? Like it is a legit CLI tool but we should ignore it because it shares the name with something else?

The GitHub Copilot CLI tool is brand new, they only launched that in September: https://github.blog/changelog/2025-09-25-github-copilot-cli-...

Prior to that GitHub Copilot was either the VS Code IDE integration or the various AI features that popped up around the GitHub.com site itself.

Yeah but my point was it's pretty clear which Copilot the article was talking about and pretending like it could be anything beacuse "everything's copilot" is a L take sorry.
