A pure Lua Neovim plugin that replaces copilot.vim, providing GitHub Copilot AI code suggestions with a Lua API for integration. It includes an LSP-based backend, authentication commands, and optional next-edit-suggestion (NES) functionality.

Use cases

  • get github copilot suggestions in neovim
  • replace copilot.vim with a faster lua plugin
  • integrate copilot completions with nvim-cmp
  • authenticate and manage github copilot accounts in neovim
  • enable next edit suggestions in neovim
  • control which filetypes copilot attaches to

When to choose

  • you use Neovim 0.11+ and want Copilot ghost text or panel suggestions
  • you need a Lua API to programmatically interact with Copilot
  • you want copilot suggestions integrated with nvim-cmp

When to avoid

  • you don't use Neovim or use Vim without Lua support
  • you don't have a GitHub Copilot subscription
  • you can't install Node.js and curl dependencies
