Visual Studio Code 1.118.1 released
Visual Studio Code 1.118.1 drops a quick patch to restore the GitHub Copilot CLI after version 1.118 accidentally broke terminal command execution through faulty path resolution logic. The regression caused slash commands to fail silently or throw cryptic errors, leaving developers stuck while Microsoft pushed out a targeted hotfix instead of waiting for the next monthly release cycle. Updating runs smoothly through the built-in installer and preserves all user settings and extensions, though teams should test the patch in isolated workspaces before rolling it out to shared machines or CI pipelines. Anyone relying on inline AI assistance will get their terminal working again without needing to dig through issue trackers or manually reinstall broken binaries.
