A local proxy server that emulates GitHub Copilot by running open-source code-completion LLMs (via llama.cpp/GGML) on a Mac, so VS Code's Copilot extension can be pointed at it for fully on-device autocomplete. It is a Python app that downloads models and serves completions on localhost.

Use cases

• run github copilot locally on my mac
• offline code completion without internet
• self-hosted copilot alternative with local llm
• autocomplete code on airplane with no network
• use open source models for ide code suggestions

When to choose

• you have a fast Apple Silicon Mac and slow or unreliable internet
• you need code completions that never leave your machine for privacy
• you want a hackable, self-hosted Copilot replacement

When to avoid

• you have fast internet and want the best completion quality
• you need fast completions with large 34b-class models
• you want a polished one-click installer or non-Mac platforms
