## What it is
A deprecated GitHub repository that served as the feedback channel for GitHub Copilot Chat and Copilot completions in Visual Studio Code, collecting issue reports and feature requests about the extensions' user experience. It has been superseded by the microsoft/vscode-copilot-chat repository for open-source contributions and the main VS Code issue tracker for feedback.

## Use cases
- report UX issues with GitHub Copilot Chat in VS Code
- request features for Copilot inline completions
- find where to submit Copilot feedback after the repo deprecation
- track historical Copilot Chat issues and discussions
- learn how Copilot Chat integrates with VS Code

## When to choose
- you need to reference historical Copilot Chat feedback or issues
- you want to understand the transition of Copilot Chat to open source

## When to avoid
- you want to contribute code to Copilot Chat - use microsoft/vscode-copilot-chat instead
- you want to report new Copilot issues - use the main VS Code repository
- you want a usable extension - install GitHub Copilot Chat from the marketplace directly
