Can this work with Github Copilot in VS Code?

Hey there - This tool looks so promising! Is there any way to plug the compressor to Github Copilot that is running as extension in VS Code? This is the main AI tool in our org and we started to experience throttling with the new consumption based pricning they rolled out this month.

To see if headroom can integrate with GitHub Copilot, you'll want to look into how the library functions as a proxy and whether it can be configured to intercept and compress data between VS Code and GitHub Copilot. The README suggests it operates as a local-first proxy with multiple algorithms, which might be adaptable for this use case. There might not be direct support or a plugin for Copilot yet, so you'd need to check the specific API and configuration options in the repo to explore custom integration possibilities.

@omni-front thanks for the reply! We've been researching options and don't seem to find an easy way to route Copilot in VS Code via a local proxy. Beliee there is an option for Copilot CLI. Hope bright minds on this repo come up with a solution to make it work. Much needed in the light of rapidly increasing usage and new consumption pricing.

You might want to explore the Copilot CLI as a potential workaround since it could offer more flexibility in routing through a local proxy. Keep an eye on the repository for any new developments or community solutions.
