## 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](/copilot/github-copilot-in-the-cli/using-github-copilot-in-the-cli#executing-the-command)."
|
|
|
|
To prevent accidental execution of commands, the confirmation prompt defaults to `No`. For faster execution, you can change the default answer to `Yes`.
