([github.com](https://github.com/github/gh-copilot?utm_source=openai))  \n- The quoted string is your natural-language prompt describing what you want.  \n- The `-t shell` flag helps specify that you want a generic shell command (PowerShell in this case) rather than a GitHub CLI or git command. ([copilot.liatr.io](https://copilot.liatr.io/addendum/3-copilot-cli/?utm_source=openai))\n\nYou could also omit the `-t shell` and Copilot will likely ask you what kind of command you want. ([copilot.liatr.io](https://copilot.liatr.io/addendum/3-copilot-cli/?utm_source=openai))\n\n---\n\n### \ud83d\udda5 Actual PowerShell command to list all (local) users\n\nHere are a couple of built-in PowerShell ways to list all *local* user accounts on a Windows machine:\n\n- **Recommended cmdlet**:  \n  ```powershell\n  Get-LocalUser\n  ```\n  This returns all local users, their status (enabled/disabled), etc. ([sharepointdiary.com](https://www.sharepointdiary.com/2022/03/managing-local-users-and-groups-using-powershell.html?utm_source=openai))\n\n- **Older / alternative using WMI / CIM**:  \n  ```powershell\n  Get-CimInstance Win32_UserAccount | Where-Object { $_.LocalAccount -eq $true }\n  ```\n  This pulls in accounts from the `Win32_UserAccount` class, filtered to just local accounts. ([lepide.com](https://www.lepide.com/how-to/list-all-user-accounts-on-a-windows-system-using-powershell.html?utm_source=openai))\n\n---\n\n### \u2705 Combined example\n\nPutting it together, you might:\n\n1. Run Copilot CLI to get the suggestion:\n\n   ```powershell\n   gh copilot suggest \"list all users on the system in PowerShell\" -t shell\n   ```\n\n2. Then you\u2019ll likely get something like:\n\n   ```powershell\n   Get-LocalUser\n   ```\n\n   (or similar).  \n\n---\n\nIf you tell me whether you're looking for local users only, domain users, or both, I can give you the exact prompt to feed Copilot and the full command you should expect!"

        "content": "You\u2019re right\u2014the `-t` shorthand option might not be supported in *all versions* of GitHub Copilot CLI or when invoked via `gh copilot`. The official `--target` (or `-t`) flag is documented, but it may depend on the version you're using. ([mankier.com](https://www.mankier.com/1/gh-copilot?utm_source=openai))\n\n---\n\nHere\u2019s the correct, version-agnostic syntax:\n\n```\ngh copilot suggest --target shell \"list all users on the system\"\n```\n\n- `--target shell` (same as `-t shell`) tells Copilot you want a **generic shell command** rather than a `git` or `gh` command.

([copilot.liatr.io](https://copilot.liatr.io/addendum/3-copilot-cli/?utm_source=openai))\n\n---\n\n### \ud83d\udee0 Full workaround example\n\nIf you have `--target` support:\n```\ngh copilot suggest --target shell \"list all users on the system\"\n```\n\nIf not:\n```\ngh copilot suggest \"list all users on the system\"\n```\n\u2192 Then when asked: choose **generic shell command**\n\n---\n\nIf you tell me your version of `gh copilot` (run `gh copilot --version`), I can check if your version supports `--target`, and I can help adjust the syntax accordingly."
