Streamline C++ Code Intelligence Setup in Copilot CLI

Microsoft's C++ team publishes a walkthrough on configuring language servers (clangd, MSVC, clang-tidy) for GitHub Copilot CLI in C++ projects. The new setup wizard detects the compiler toolchain and automatically wires up header search paths, compile flags, and clang-tidy rules

Until now, C++ developers had to manually replicate their MSBuild or CMake configuration for Copilot CLI's code-intelligence layer, a frequent source of wrong-symbol completions and silent lint drift. The new streamlined flow ships in Copilot CLI 2.4 and integrates with both Visual Studio Code and the standalone Copilot CLI. Microsoft highlights tighter integration with the C++ build insights pipeline, so the agent can propose changes that respect compile-time budgets. Pairs with the GitHub Blog Copilot-CLI-LSP writeup above (entry #1) — together they cover the same capability for both general LSPs and the C++-specific workflow.
