Dependency of copilot.vim / copilot.lua?

[shmerl]

Does CopilotChat.nvim depend on copilot.vim or copilot.lua plugins? I didn't find that mentioned anywhere in the readme, but a bunch of external posts about it mention it so it's confusing.

Thank you!

It used to depend on them (for authentication) but now they are both just optional

Oh, that's neat, thank you! So CopilotChat.nvim handles authentication on its own now? I didn't see details on that in the readme either, so it's something I need to figure out how to do.

yea, it will just prompt you in the chat buffer. but also if you already have valid token from copilot.lua/copilot.vim it will use that one
