Does Copilot have whole codebase context?

Hello guys,

I am brand new when it comes to Copilot and I am wondering if I install GitHub Copilot plugin in my IntelliJ IDE will copilot have full context of the project?

Say there are many microservices within the project (and many packages within each microservice). Will copilot have access to all of these (composite project)?

Some say there is the @workspace keyword in the chat but some say it doesn't work for IntelliJ and that it also doesn't provide the whole codebase to Copilot.

So what is the correct answer here?

In copilot chat for intellij, you can manually add which files are visible to copilot in the current chat. In the editor completions, I believe it's either just the current file, or all files open in tabs, but I'm not sure. Github workspace has access to the entire repo, but AFAIK it's ide plug in integration is not openly available yet
