Extension GitHub Copilot Chat has been open-sourced

Hi,

The extension GitHub Copilot Chat has just been open-sourced (https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-copilot-chat)

Do you plan to publish it on OpenVSX?

[2zqa]

Do we need to make a separate request for GitHub Copilot, without the chat? This extension is responsible for in-line suggestions, and won't happen with just the chat extension. Though I'm not sure if that extension is open source as well.

Sweet! This is awesome to see.
Happy to receive a PR adding this, might look into this myself if I find time over the coming weeks.

@2zqa last time I've checked the Copilot extension that does the tab-tab completion was not OSS although it has probably been the most requested extension to add to https://open-vsx.org to date ;).

@filiptronicek I created a PR: #926

Sidenote, I couldn't get it to run locally sadly despite running npm install, so I hope all checks will pass. Node 18 wasn't available for me in the Nix repositories so I used 20 (which seems to be used in the pipelines as well)

npm run publish
