Sign In button doesn't work for Copilot

[keaedwar]

Type: Bug

I brought up VS Code and opened a folder. I wanted to run a GitHub Copilot request, but when I pressed the Copilot Chat icon on the left, it showed me a left panel that said, "Sign in with GitHub to use Copilot, your AI pair programmer.", but the Sign In button didn't do anything. It looks like I'm already loggeed in.

Same thing happend to me. I fixed this by logging out of GitHub and then going to the Copilot button in the bottom right, clicking it, and choosing sign into github, this opens a new notification with a sign in button that worked for me

Hi @keaedwar 👋 I'm wondering if sbuchersg's suggestion helped you?
