I have an individual license, but I can't seem to disable this feature. How can I remove Copilot buttons and search integrations? I disabled the preview feature, but no difference. |

Bump this one. I want no copilot whatsoever in any of my repositories. But it seems, regardless of my choice, people can now ask copilot to "explain" code in my repo. In my experience, ChatBots are actually counterproductive for anything other that stuff you'd find by googling anyway. Moreover, I have a blanket robots.txt that is meant to deny access to my code to all chatbots, but obviously GitHub is ignoring this. |

@meneguzzi Agreed. Instead of adding dubious AI that nobody asked for they could instead add the missing CHANGE LOG tab to the repositories, which would be easy and very helpful to get rid of change logs from READMEs once and for all. |

It is unclear to me if this will solely be enabled for the org members whom we have enabled CoPilot for, and whether there are any other pricing implications for enabling this. Kindly elaborate :) |

The fact that it's a Microsoft product you are required a license to use it is more than enough to avoid it like the plague. |

Ah yes, Copilot in GitHub.com cannot do any "tasks" for you today. It primarily has awareness of the pages you are on and can answer questions about them. But, if that is something you are interested in it being able to do, I will track it as feedback! |

Ahh.. I totally misunderstood this feature (probably getting ahead of myself more than the marketing, I'd wager) -- so this is strictly for communicating with llm regarding the repository? I seen folks suggesting this could help make bug PRs and stuff, so clearly I missed the memo here ! So this isn't much different then working with copilot chat in the IDE? |

I thought I can ask specific function questions about a code base using Copilot. But even though it apparently indexed the repository I was exploring, it started blatantly hallucinating non-existent functions and functionality (unacceptable!), while then also complaining that I should do something that not only seemed contradictory to the indexing message below, but the directions did not make much sense - how to confirm the prompt in copilot chat, I was there, I just did it.. So, was it indexed or not?

The instructions for semantic indexing are unclear:
What does that mean? What prompt do I need to confirm to get my codebase indexed? On a public repo (KDAB/cxx-qt) I get the following error when asking "What does this repository do?":
When asking "Can you tell me about this repository?" (in a private repo), it depends way too much on the README. For example, if you don't delete or update the readme from some skeleton/template you used to initialize the repo, Copilot Chat will use that as the basis for the answer, even if the repo has completely diverged from the readme. |

The addition of Copilot where the notifications button previously was is not a welcome change. This might seem like a nitpick, but you're throwing away years of muscle memory just to push this brand new product. There are already 3 mentions of Copilot in the UI when I open github.com, could 2 or god-forbid, 1 of those locations suffice? |

I am failing to understand what this product offers beyond what you can already do with Copilot chat in VS Code. Even after indexing one of my repositories, I am getting function errors on at least every other response I get back. When I finally got back a response for one of the tasks I had it do (generate a sitemap.xml file), I asked it to create a pull request. This was met with “sorry, can’t create branches or pull requests.” 🤷 |

At mysql-net/MySqlConnector#1519 I opened Copilot and entered:
Copilot started displaying a response but then replaced it with:
This was very unexpected to me, as I wasn't trying to generate anything misleading, harmful, illegal, etc. Side note: what are GitHub's content policies? Could those words in the error message be a link to a support document describing them? This seems like a false positive in content policy violation detection, or a failure in Copilot's prompt to generate a valid response.

Hi @bgrainger, this is a known issue with a content filter we have running on Copilot in GitHub.com. We're actively working to fix this, hopefully this week. As for which content filters we run, you can learn more about them here: https://copilot.github.trust.page/faq |

So theres that. Why index then? |
Beta Was this translation helpful? Give feedback.

|
Indexing is to leverage semantic search specific to the code within the repository, not the file names, directories, and paths. Though we do have support for searching for files and paths as well. What was the questions and use cases you were hoping to ask? There may be a gap that I can prioritize plugging. |

The chat box seems to always respond to events from the Enter key, but as a Japanese language user, the Enter key is used to select the correct Kanji characters. It's hard for me to chat with Copilot AI in Japanese using this chatbox.

The filtering in the current version of Copilot on Github is too aggressive on certain topics such as weapons. I've tried asking it questions about a mod repository for a game with guns in it and Copilot often requires a roundabout prompt to make it actually answer the question. This is an example of my experience with Copilots response being filtered vs. successfully responding: Filtered: "Is there an effective range parameter for how far any specific weapon can damage an entity?" Not Filtered: "Is there an effective range parameter for how far any specific weapon can damage an entity in this [name of game] mod which is not real?" |
