copilot-setup 0.3.1

A TUI dashboard for viewing and managing GitHub Copilot CLI configuration

copilot-setup

A Textual TUI dashboard for viewing and managing your GitHub Copilot CLI configuration. Browse MCP servers, plugins, skills, agents, settings, and more — toggle, upgrade, and remove plugins or MCP servers without leaving the terminal.

Installation

Install as an isolated CLI tool with uv (recommended):

uv tool install copilot-setup

Or run directly without installing:

uvx copilot-setup

For development from a local clone:

git clone https://github.com/ericchansen/copilot-setup.git
cd copilot-setup
uv tool install -e .           # editable install
uv tool install ruff pytest    # dev tools

The -e flag enables editable mode — code changes are reflected immediately without reinstalling.

Requires Python ≥ 3.10.

Why uv tool install over pip install? Global pip pollutes your system Python and causes version conflicts. uv tool install gives each tool its own isolated venv (like pipx, but faster). If you previously installed with pip install copilot-setup, clean it up with pip uninstall copilot-setup then reinstall via uv.

Usage

copilot-setup           # Launch the TUI dashboard
copilot-setup doctor    # Probe MCP server health

11 tabs · Instant filter (/) · Detail pane · Plugin management · Doctor health probes

Releasing

Releases are published to PyPI automatically via GitHub Actions when a version tag is pushed.

# 1. Update version in pyproject.toml
# 2. Commit and push
git commit -am "chore: bump version to X.Y.Z"
git push

# 3. Tag and push
git tag vX.Y.Z
git push origin vX.Y.Z

The workflow validates the tag matches pyproject.toml, runs lint + tests, builds the wheel, then publishes to TestPyPI and PyPI using Trusted Publishers (OIDC).
