Actual exam question for Microsoft's GH-600 exam
Question #: 28
Topic #: 1
You have a GitHub repository.
You use the GitHub Copilot CLI to run an agentic workflow from the terminal.
During execution, the conversation history approaches the context limit. The agent cannot continue the current session unless the amount of retained context is reduced.
You need to continue the current session without losing all the prior progress.
Which Copilot CLI slash command should you run?

Suggested Answer: D Vote an answer

You should run the /compact slash command.
Context Management in GitHub Copilot CLI/compact: This command triggers the compaction process manually. It takes a snapshot of your full conversation history, sends it to the AI model to generate a summary, and replaces the bulky history with that concise summary. This reduces token usage instantly while preserving prior progress.
