Feature summary
Enable BYOK (Bring Your Own Key) for GitHub Copilot app to bypass mandatory subscription-linked account login.
What problem are you trying to solve?
Currently, using the GitHub Copilot app requires a user to be logged into a GitHub account that has an active GitHub Copilot subscription. This limits the flexibility for users who prefer to use their own keys (BYOK) for LLM access.
Proposed solution
Allow configuring the GitHub Copilot app to authenticate via provided API keys (BYOK) instead of relying on the active session of a subscribed GitHub account.
Workflow impact
This would benefit users who have their own LLM infrastructure or API access and want to leverage the GitHub Copilot app's interface without being tied to a specific per-user subscription model. It improves accessibility and integration into custom workflows.
Installation context
Applicable for both individual and organization-wide installations.
Additional context
This aligns with the trend towards more open and configurable AI development tools.
