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
