pwsh-copilot

Use GitHub Copilot CLI in PowerShell 5.1 on Windows.

Install

``bash
npm i -g pwsh-copilot
`

Verify

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

Uninstall

`bash
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`
