Adding in GitHub Copilot support

[und3fined]

@thepolarbear0818 I think it's hard go to with zed.

Microsoft acquires GitHub, Microsoft born VSCode. VSCode and Zed can be rivals 😂

Copilot works with both vs code and vim. There is an open feature request to build an extension system. It might be possible to satisfy the needed parts of the interface to use one of the existing plugins from the other editors.

This is so important. It is impossible to use without it :( It would be great if you could just open up the LSPprotocol and we could connect copilot ourself.

To frame it the other way, I dont think I can use zed without copilot,

Github Copilot is becoming more relevant. Been using Zed for the past few months, but this feature would be crucial for me and my team in the near future

[zippoxer]

Zed's target audience is people who like to try new things, and those people are likely to have already tried Copilot and are now addicted 🤭

LLM-assisted coding is slowly becoming the standard. Supporting GitHub Copilot (and it's future competitors) should be a top priority.

I do love everything else about Zed though ❤️

This depends on #5269.

I already view Zed as a productivity gain when writiing Rust. Copilot is another one of those things that steepens the productivity curve. Me personally, I'd be super focused on this integration. Not having it will be a reason for some not to use it, having it will improve the experience for those who use such tools and like Zed.
I'm very excited for the future of Zed. I've tried a few editors of late in the hope I can move off of VSCode, and Zed is by far the best option at present (at least for Mac's). You're doing a wonderful job, and I wish you all the best in future. Thanks for all your hard work.

Hey all, I just wanted to mention that we are prioritizing adding Copilot support to Zed.

[exalted]

LOL. Now there's also GitHub Copilot X.

👋 Hey folks I'm one of the engineering managers working on Copilot at GitHub, and I'm really excited to see this happen! Daniel (@dipree) is a PM on the GitHub Copilot team I wanted to introduce, as he's also interested in helping out.

Awesome, thanks for coming by! I'd love to connect with y'all to talk about design, and get connected with your designers if that is something they would be interested in. I'm sure there is a lot of context y'all have that we are unaware of.

Just out of curiosity, would the timeline for Copilot support look like a few months or more like towards end of 2023?

If all goes smoothly, likely in the realm of weeks. We have it running internally - we're just working through some remaining kinks.

Good news that zed is still very active, this is the only main flaw I can't sacrifice to use zed 100% as my only code editor

[mikayla-maki]

Released today :)

[Ulisses1478]

Tested and it is faster than in vscode, high quality work

[JosephTLyons]

Congrats to the team members that worked on this @mikayla-maki @as-cii - feels great to close out the highest-ranked user issue!

Thanks for the great work!!
