How do I get the GitHub CoPilot extension

[simonjcarr]

Is the GitHub CoPilot extension available for coder? If not, do we know if there are any plans for it to be available?

I can see why GitHub may not want to offer it, as coder is a competitor to there CodeSpaces offering.

I have tried to use the ChatGPT extension, but after installing and clicking the icon for it in the tool bar nothing happens other than the blue line traveling across the top as though it is trying to load but failing.

code-server uses Open VSX as the default marketplace so making it available is a matter of the extension authors submitting it to Open VSX and I think they also have code that explicitly disables itself on non-Microsoft-branded builds of VS Code so they would need to remove that. I see a few open discussions for this but no responses from Microsoft yet: https://github.com/orgs/community/discussions?discussions_q=is%3Aopen+open+vsx As for the ChatGPT extension, is it the genieai.chatgpt-vscode extension? If so that one worked last I tried (#6117) and the issue for others was not serving code-server over a secure domain. If that does not help then feel free to post logs and we can dig into it more.

I should mention there are discussions here about how to work around installing Copilot but these methods probably violate Microsoft's marketplace terms of service and maybe the extension's license as well.
