use github copilot with visual studio code extension of machine learning studio

Question

Hi, I am using the visual studio code extension from the machine learning studio to work on an ML compute instance. Locally, I work with Github copilot in VS code, where I am signed in with my github account. Is it possible to use github copilot within the visual studio code extension from the machine learning studio, where I am automatically signed in with my companies AD account, which has github copilot access?

Answer 1

Yes, I think it is possible since GitHub Copilot can be installed as an extension in Visual Studio Code. Make sure you have the latest version of Visual Studio Code installed to support this extension. You'll need an active GitHub Copilot subscription. If you haven't already, you can activate a free trial or use your existing subscription if you're eligible (for example, if you're a verified student or a maintainer of a popular open-source project on GitHub). When you first use GitHub Copilot in Visual Studio Code, you'll be prompted to sign in with your GitHub account. Since you mentioned that your company's AD account has GitHub Copilot access, you should be able to use it by signing in with that account. Once installed and signed in, GitHub Copilot will offer real-time coding suggestions in various languages and frameworks. It's designed to increase productivity by providing context-aware code completions, suggestions, and even entire code snippets.**
