Question
Your team is developing an Azure SQL dataset solution from a locally cloned GitHub repository by using Microsoft Visual Studio Code and GitHub Copilot Chat.
You need to disable the GitHub Copilot repository-level instructions for yourself without affecting other users.
What should you do?
- A. From Visual Studio Code, modify your GitHub Copilot Chat user settings. Correct
- B. Add a --debug flag when you start the GitHub Copilot Chat extension.
- C. Delete .github/copilot-instructions.md.
Explanation
Whether Copilot Chat loads instruction files is controlled by a setting, and changing it in your own user settings affects only you. Deleting .github/copilot-instructions.md is wrong because the file belongs to the repository, so once the change is pushed it removes the instructions for the whole team. A --debug flag only concerns diagnostics and does not turn off instructions.
