The correct path on Windows is ~/AppData/Local/nvim/pack/github/start/copilot.vim. Unfortunately it's not quite a drop-in replacement, as ~ and \ are specific to UNIX shells. In the copilot.vim README, I'm currently suggesting the following PowerShell command:

          git clone https://github.com/github/copilot.vim.git `
            $HOME/AppData/Local/nvim/pack/github/start/copilot.vim


```
git clone https://github.com/github/copilot.vim \
~/.config/PATH/TO/YOUR/NEOVIM/CONFIG/FILE/copilot.vim
```
1. To configure {% data variables.product.prodname_copilot %}, open Neovim and enter the following command.
{% data reusables.copilot.config-enable-copilot-in-neovim %}

```
:Copilot setup
```
{% endlinux %}
