FAQ

GitHub Copilot CLI and DEVUP AI

Does GitHub Copilot CLI work with DEVUP AI?

Yes. Set COPILOT_PROVIDER_BASE_URL to https://api.devupai.com/v1, COPILOT_PROVIDER_API_KEY to your DEVUP AI key and COPILOT_MODEL to a catalog model ID. Copilot CLI then answers, edits files and runs commands on DEVUP AI models.

Do I need a GitHub account or a Copilot plan?

No. With a custom model provider, Copilot CLI does not require GitHub sign-in, and with COPILOT_OFFLINE set to true it makes no connection to GitHub at all.

Does Copilot CLI use my GitHub Copilot credits?

No. Requests go to DEVUP AI, so the session counter shows 0 AIC used, and usage is billed on your DEVUP AI balance.
