Why we included this project
Copilot.el is the plugin most Emacs users reach for when they want GitHub Copilot in the editor. It skips a generic LSP client and talks to the official Copilot language server directly over JSON-RPC, since most of the Copilot protocol is not standard LSP. You get ghost-text completions, a chat buffer, and Next Edit Suggestions, with one shared server across all your buffers and projects. Setup is painless: copilot-install-server fetches a precompiled binary when npm is missing, so you don't need Node.js, and the maintainers document their protocol and design choices in doc/design.md if you want the details. It needs Emacs 27+ and a GitHub Copilot account, though there's been a free tier since early 2025.
