Any updates on how to install copilot on code server 4.7.0?

I found this video on YouTube that worked for me:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w_-zFFM0N-g. It may help you install Github Copilot on code-server as well.

August 2023

I just ran into this problem (Copilot doesn't show up when you search for it in extensions), so here's what worked for me:

1. Visithttps://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=GitHub.copilot
2. Look for a "Download Extension" link. As of writing it's in the side-bar under the "Resources" header.
3. You'll get a file called something likeGitHub.copilot-1.100.313.vsix. Drag and drop it anywhere in your filetree in code-server.
4. Right click on it, and you'll see an option "Install Extension VSIX" - click it.
5. It'll install, and then after a moment or two you'll see a notification in the bottom-right, prompting you to "Sign in to Github to use Copilot". Click sign in, and follow the prompts.
6. That's it - test it by typing some code. You should see the grey text auto-complete come up.

Note that before doing the above steps I upgraded to the latest version ofcode-server (VSCode=v1.80.2, code-server=v4.16.1) and restarted the machine.

I downloaded the vsix chat extension, unzipped it and modified thepackage.json to set the following:

"vscode": "^1.84.0",

rezipped it and did a manual vsix installed, and it now works on latest code server.

I installed GitHub Copilot (the latest version v1.168.742) with code-server v4.21.2 (Code 1.86.2).

I wasn't able to get GitHub Copilot Chat working. Not even trying to use@hchaudhary1 method above, changing the json file to have:

"vscode": "^1.86.0".

And after a successful install, this happened:

Hello everyone, I wanted to offer another solution I just ran across, because I had a similar issue.

I am running code-server 4.22.1 inside Docker (code-server: v4.22.1, Code: 1.87.2, Commit:760d131). I downloaded the extension fromhere, and installed inside code-server (uploaded, right-click to install), but the authentication is always failing.

My solution was to start the sign-in process. After it gives you the 8-character code, copy it somewhere. Then when it prompts you to go to the URL to activate,do not click Open but instead Copy the URL (it should behttps://github.com/login/device anyway). Then open a new tab yourself, paste the 8-character code, Authorize it, then close the tab.

And then it should successfully log in :)

If you are running in the Linuxserver code-server container, add this to your environment
- "EXTENSIONS_GALLERY={"serviceUrl": "https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/_apis/public/gallery\", "cacheUrl": "https://vscode.blob.core.windows.net/gallery/index\", "itemUrl": "https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items\"}"

Hi everyone,
I tried the above approach, when I try to sign in into the GitHub copilot. I get this pop up of You have not yet finished authorizing this extension to use GitHub. Would you like to try a different way? (personal access token) Source: GitHub Authentication when i click on yes. it asks to create a personal acess token when I get give the personal token, I am getting this below error in the output window.

auth: Error: No auth flow succeeded.

I am using the latest github copilot and vs-codeserver (v4.93.1) vs code (1.93.1)

is there any workaround for this issue?

Grab latest copilot VSIX package automatically:
