This is so great! Your tweet the other day got me to look into setting this up more and what I landed on was that if you use VS Code Insiders and the Copilot nightly build you can also use the Copilot chat: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3surPGP7_4o

I set it up following this guide: https://visualstudiomagazine.com/articles/2023/05/16/github-copilot-chat.aspx
