Copilot CLI remote control full rollout, mobile phone can intervene in local tasks at any time.

AIMPACT News, May 20 (UTC+8), according to Beating's monitoring, GitHub announced that the Copilot CLI remote control feature is now fully available on mobile and web platforms. From now on, when users initiate AI tasks by typing commands in their local terminal, VS Code, or JetBrains, the execution screen and status will be streamed in real-time to their mobile devices.

This directly changes the execution mode for long-duration tasks. When the system automatically executes code generation or refactoring in the background, users can completely leave their workstations. Once Copilot reaches a checkpoint requiring permission confirmation or input parameters, it pushes the request to the GitHub Mobile App. Users can view the planned actions on their phones and directly approve, forcibly abort, or queue the next instruction.

This update completely removes the physical limitation of being bound to a hosted repository. Even if users operate on a purely local directory not associated with GitHub at all, they can still see the task progress in the dedicated proxy panel on the web. For enterprise users restricted by security policies, this cross-device takeover capability is frozen by default and must be activated by the system administrator by enabling the relevant policies in the backend.
