GitHub shipped a Sessions sidebar in Copilot CLI so developers can run more than one agent conversation without leaving the terminal. Left arrow opens the sidebar; n starts a session, x closes the current one, and shortcuts move between them. Coding-agent work often fans out into research, a fix, and a PR in parallel, and the CLI previously lacked a first-class switcher. The change keeps those runs on one surface instead of extra terminal tabs.
Key Takeaways
- βA Sessions sidebar opens with the left arrow; n creates, x closes, and shortcuts move between runs.
- βThe CLI can keep parallel agent tasks in one terminal instead of extra windows.
- βGitHub is treating Copilot CLI as a multi-session agent workbench, not a single chat.
