GitHub Copilot CLI adds automatic MSBuild build configuration for Microsoft C++ Language Server
GitHub says the Microsoft C++ Language Server for GitHub Copilot CLI now bundles its MSBuild compile commands extractor and runs it automatically when a project opens. That removes the extra configuration-skill discovery step previously needed to generate a compilation database for MSBuild-based C++ projects. According to the blog post, the change makes setup deterministic and lowers token usage for project initialization. Users with an active GitHub Copilot subscription can use it after installing the plugin and accepting the EULA.
