Hey all,

I just finished implementing the Java SDK for programmatically interacting with the GitHub Copilot CLI. I'd appreciate early feedback and ideas of tasks you have for automating!

This looks like a solid initiative—great to see a Java SDK for interacting with the GitHub Copilot CLI.

A few early thoughts and ideas that might be useful:

• Examples showing common automation workflows (e.g., running Copilot prompts in CI or dev tooling)
• Guidance on authentication and security considerations when used in automated environments
• Support for async execution and better error handling for long-running CLI tasks
• Sample integrations with popular Java build tools like Maven or Gradle

Overall, this could be really valuable for teams building internal developer tools or IDE extensions in Java.
Looking forward to seeing how this evolves.

Thanks @Niravvasani12 !

Those are good points, and I believe I have most of them covered. Did you have a chance to look into DOCS.md and the jbang-example.java files?

I also mention in the README.md one project I built with the SDK already.
