Even more fun fact, if you never clicked the "enable" button on Copilot, most of those settings are locked to "enabled" anyway.
yeah you just can't see them. fun!
Yes I just found that this morning. Time to seriously look at the GitHub alternatives.
Also another setting under CoPilot>Coding Agent - turn off for All Repositories - mine was set to On.
Even with that setting on, nothing would be done unless you explicitly assign a Github task to Copilot. Even then, the worst thing that would happen is you'd get a pull request at some point if you somehow accidentally assigned a task to Copilot.
Got it. I didn't read too far in it. I saw the option to turn something copilot-related off, so I took it!
Thanks for providing an explanation.
I hear good things about Codeberg
