Another part where you can configure GitHub
Copilot in great detail are your settings in your code
editor. On GitHub, you can enable or disable features and
models. In your editor, you can control the specific behavior you
want from Copilot. So if you go to your
Settings, to your Local or your
Global settings, so your Workspace or User settings, you
can search for Copilot here to see all these
GitHub Copilot-related settings.
And there are a lot of those settings, and they also change
frequently. So it's definitely a good idea to
page, especially if you maybe read about some
you'd like to see in GitHub Copilot.
As you see here at the point of time where I'm recording this, there are many
experimental features which are very likely not experimental anymore
viewing this. But it's here where you can fine-tune the
behavior of GitHub Copilot. And by default, it'll typically
work quite well, but if you have a specific behavior you don't
behavior you might want because maybe it's in other editors like
Cursor, chances are high that there is a setting here which allows you to
adjust GitHub Copilot and its behavior to your exact
requirements. The official Visual Studio Code release
notes are a great place to learn about any new features that have been
added, because these days, they are, to a large extent,
about just GitHub Copilot and new features that were added there.
So here, you cannot just learn about new features
also about new settings you can potentially tweak, like this
View sessions setting here, which is mentioned for this specific
update in this specific moment where I'm recording
this.
