About configuration for {% data variables.product.prodname_copilot_cli %}
By running gh copilot config you can configure multiple settings:
- Optional Usage Analytics
- The default behavior for the execute command confirmation
About Optional Usage Analytics
You can choose to allow {% data variables.product.company_short %} to collect usage data. This helps with improving the product and providing better support. You can enable or disable usage analytics at any time.
{% data variables.product.company_short %} uses metrics to prioritize work and evaluate whether {% data variables.product.prodname_copilot_cli_short %} is successful in solving real user problems. For example, when a new version is released and there's a spike in exceptions and response ratings, usage analytics are used to understand if there is a regression or a platform issue causing problems.
Unless you've opted out, {% data variables.product.prodname_copilot_cli_short %} will send a payload in the format below to the analytics system. {% data variables.product.company_short %} is very sensitive to the privacy of users and will never look at the data of specific individuals, but rather only examine aggregate data and trends to inform product decisions.

About the execute command confirmation
When you use the ghcs alias and choose to execute the suggested command, {% data variables.product.prodname_copilot_cli_short %} will prompt you to confirm that you want to execute the code. For more information, see "AUTOTITLE."
To prevent accidental execution of commands, the confirmation prompt defaults to No. For faster execution, you can change the default answer to Yes.
