GitHub Copilot CLI — October 2026 Releases
14 releases in October 2026.
What's new in GitHub Copilot CLI, October 2026
GitHub Copilot CLI adds sandbox for all users, Assisted Permissions and new models
GitHub Copilot CLI's main change so far in October 2026 is command sandboxing becoming available to all users through /sandbox and --sandbox (v1.0.93), followed by steady work on permissions and sandbox behavior. Fourteen releases have shipped so far, from v1.0.91 to v1.0.105, and the month is still in progress.
Sandbox additions include copilot sandbox ca commands for proxy CA trust (v1.0.91), secret-masking suggestions in sandbox settings (v1.0.96), and /add-dir granting sandbox access for the session. Assisted Permissions gained an assistedApprovalInstructions setting and no longer need experimental mode (v1.0.104), and the timeline now shows who made each permission decision. Other changes: copilot config subcommands and a Ctrl+E environment picker (v1.0.92), agent-scoped declarative hooks (v1.0.97), --disable-client-telemetry and a /share menu (v1.0.100), and Claude Haiku 5.5 and Gemini 4 Argon in model selection. The rest of the month was mostly fixes for MCP, plugins, Gemini tool calls and Windows sandbox behavior.
