Body

Since this endpoint is publicly accessible, requires Oauth authentication, and responds like an OpenAI API, I wonder if it can be used by other applications as a model provider or if it violates ToS, even though I cannot find any reference.

There are several implementations now that allow doing this, such as https://github.com/jmdaly/llm-github-copilot and litellm.

Can we have an official response from someone at GitHub?

Yes, but I have one more question, where did you take the information you shared here ? Are they coming from official sources ?

I think it would be great if we wait someone from Github or Microsoft. it is indeed easy to use these endpoints with Oauth
