Configuration

pr-copilot uses a JSON config file at ~/.copilot/pr-copilot-config.json for settings. The --setup command creates this file automatically with sensible defaults.

Config File

{
  "autoUpdate": true
}

Location: ~/.copilot/pr-copilot-config.json

The file is created automatically by --setup if it doesn't exist. Edit it by hand to change settings.

Available Options

autoUpdate (default: true)

Checks for a newer release on GitHub in the background each time the MCP server starts. If a newer version is found:

  1. The new binary is downloaded and installed without interrupting the current session
  2. The TUI viewer (if running) shows an upgrade banner: ⬆ X.Y.Z available — restart to update
  3. The new version takes effect on next MCP server restart

Auto-update is enabled by default — no extra flags needed during install.

Disable auto-update:

Edit ~/.copilot/pr-copilot-config.json:

{
  "autoUpdate": false
}

Re-enable auto-update:

Set autoUpdate back to true, or delete the config file (it will be recreated with defaults on next --setup).

Legacy

The --auto-update CLI flag is still supported for backward compatibility but is no longer needed. The config file takes precedence for new installs.
