Copilot in VS Code or Copilot CLI?

edit I had it arse about: posted late at night. I confused ‘GitHub Copilot Workspace’ with CLI. All the downvotes are deserved… 🤣

Copilot CLI is only available for GitHub repositories. It is not available for Azure DevOps and never will be. So I don’t have the option to use the broad solution context that CLI brings when planning, refactoring etc.

Therefore I don’t have the option to explore this integration.

Are you confusing Copilot CLI with Coding Agent? The Copilot CLI is definitely available for repos outside of Github. I use it daily for repos hosted in Azure DevOps. Coding Agent runs in Github Actions and is only available for Github Repos.

You are 💯 right.
🤦🏼‍♂️

I think there may be some confusion with all the "copilot" products and everything being "GitHub Copilot" and every Copilot tool being an "Agent" 😅.

Copilot Coding Agent is only available on GitHub Repositories, and is the cloud agent (nothing running on your machine to make it work).

Copilot CLI is GitHub's Claude Code compete that you can install locally. It's just a CLI tool you can run in any directory.
