github Copilot in the CLI を ubuntu (私は WSL2) にインストールできたときのメモです。なんか lynx ブラウザ周りが微妙にむつかしかったのでメモします。

gh のインストール

まずは gh というコマンドをインストールするみたいです。

(type -p wget >/dev/null || (sudo apt update && sudo apt-get install wget -y)) \
	&& sudo mkdir -p -m 755 /etc/apt/keyrings \
	&& wget -qO- https://cli.github.com/packages/githubcli-archive-keyring.gpg | sudo tee /etc/apt/keyrings/githubcli-archive-keyring.gpg > /dev/null \
	&& sudo chmod go+r /etc/apt/keyrings/githubcli-archive-keyring.gpg \
	&& echo "deb [arch=$(dpkg --print-architecture) signed-by=/etc/apt/keyrings/githubcli-archive-keyring.gpg] https://cli.github.com/packages stable main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/github-cli.list > /dev/null \
	&& sudo apt update \
	&& sudo apt install gh -y

gh にログイン

gh auth login -wh github.com

ここで質問が来ますが、下記は適当に答えます:

? What is your preferred protocol for Git operations on this host? SSH
? Upload your SSH public key to your GitHub account?
? Title for your SSH key:

下記が表示されたら one-time code をコピーしてエンターキーを押します

! First copy your one-time code: XXXX-XXXX
Press Enter to open github.com in your browser...

ここで lynx がブラウザとして開きます。

github.com cookie: =xxxxxxxxxxx Allow? (Y/N/Always/neVer)

これに対しては A と答えます。

しばらくすると github のページが開くんですが、こいつのモバイル認証時の ajax が動かなくてログインできないので、別の最近の GUI の Chrome ブラウザとかで https://github.com/login?return_to=https%3A%2F%2Fgithub.com%2Flogin%2Fdevice を開きます。

Verify Session → ログインするアカウントを選びます
Device Activation → 先ほどの xxxx-xxxx を入力する
Authorize application → Authorize github ボタンを押す
Congratulations, you're all set! → chrome を閉じる

ここで lynx の方に帰ってきて、

lynx → q キー
Are you sure you want to quit? (y) → y キー

しばらく固まりますがおおらかに待つと

✓ Authentication complete.
- gh config set -h github.com git_protocol ssh
✓ Configured git protocol
! Authentication credentials saved in plain text
✓ SSH key already existed on your GitHub account: /home/xxxx/.ssh/xxxxx.pub
✓ Logged in as koteitan
! You were already logged in to this account

のようなのが出て成功します。

gh copilot explain gcc

gcc の説明がなされます

Welcome to GitHub Copilot in the CLI!

Explanation:

  gcc is a compiler for the C programming language. It is used to compile and link C
  source code files into executable binaries and libraries.

  • gcc is the command used to invoke the GCC compiler.
  • The command can include multiple source code files as arguments, which will be
  compiled and linked together.
  • Various flags can be used with gcc to control the compilation process:
    • -o output_file specifies the name of the output file.
    • -c compiles the source code files into object files without linking.
    • -Wall enables all warning messages.
    • -g includes debugging information in the compiled binary.
    • -I include_directory adds an include directory to the search path for header
    files.
    • -L library_directory adds a directory to the search path for libraries.
    • -l library_name links against a specific library during the linking phase.
    • -D macro_name=value defines a preprocessor macro with a specific value.
  • The exact behavior of gcc depends on the specific command-line arguments and options
  used.

以上。使い方とかは Google で調べてください。
