4. Work with Neo Vim

4-1. Install Neo Vim (0.9.5 or higher)

neovim/neovim: Vim-fork focused on extensibility and usability (github.com)

~ $ curl -LO https://github.com/neovim/neovim/releases/latest/download/nvim-linux64.tar.gz

~ $ sudo rm -rf /opt/nvim

~ $ sudo tar -C /opt -xzf nvim-linux64.tar.gz

~ $ export PATH="$PATH:/opt/nvim-linux64/bin"

4-2. Install Node JS

Nodesource Node.js DEB

~ $ curl -fsSL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_20.x | sudo bash -

~ $ sudo apt-get install -y nodejs

4-3. Install plugins

CopilotC-Nvim/CopilotChat.nvim: Chat with GitHub Copilot in Neovim

Put the files in the right place

~ $ mkdir -p ~/.config/nvim/pack/copilotchat/start

~ $ cd ~/.config/nvim/pack/copilotchat/start

~ $ git clone https://github.com/github/copilot.vim.git

~ $ git clone https://github.com/nvim-lua/plenary.nvim

~ $ git clone -b canary https://github.com/CopilotC-Nvim/CopilotChat.nvim

Add to your configuration(e.g. ~/.config/nvim/init.lua)

vim.g.copilot_proxy = '<your proxy server>'

vim.g.copilot_proxy_strict_ssl = false

require("CopilotChat").setup {

debug = true, -- Enable debugging

proxy = '<your proxy server>',

allow_insecure = true,

-- See Configuration section for rest

}

4-4. Start Neo Vim

Start Neo Vim and invoke “:Copilot setup”

You will see the following prompt:

Visit “https://github.com/login/device” with your authorized GitHub Copilot account, and enter the one-time code

Once your device is activated, you will see the following prompts

Then you can write some random comments and invoke :Copilot to see if the copilot is working

Once Copilot is working properly, CopilotChat should also be working properly, please restart Neo Vim and use “:CopilotChat” to open a new window to communicate with CopilotChat

4-5. Docker image

I've pushed a simple docker image with all the configurations, after you create the container you just need to

do step 4-4 to use Copilot.

Pull the Docker image

~ $ docker pull mirrors.sdc.sercomm.com:5000/neovim-copilot:latest

Start the container

~ $ docker run -it --network host --rm -v <your workspace>:/wor
