What part(s) of the article would you like to see updated?

I'm not sure if this is relevant to the Github documentation, but discussing that using Github Copilot in VS Code will disable whole line completions by Intellicode completions if that extension is enabled might be beneficial to avoid confusion when a VS Code user has both extensions installed.

I have not found official VSCode documentation about this (though I'm sure it exists), but when I set up Github Copilot, VS Code notified me that whole line completions from Intellicode completions would be disabled while Github Copilot was active.

Hi @vedantsinghania05 👋🏻 Thank you so much for opening this issue, we really appreciate you taking the time. The issue you're describing is outside the scope of our docs, but I can raise it with the Copilot team and see whether there might be another way for us to surface the information. As it won't be part of the docs, I'll close this issue for now, but thank you again for highlighting it! ✨
