copilot-more

copilot-more maximizes the value of your GitHub Copilot subscription by exposing models like gpt-4o and Claude-3.5-Sonnet for use in agentic coding tools such as Cline, or any tool that supports bring-your-own-model setups. Unlike costly pay-as-you-go APIs, this approach lets you leverage these powerful models affordably. (Yes, $10 per month maximum.)

The exposed models aren't limited to coding tasks—you can connect any AI client and customize parameters like temperature, context window length, and more.

Ethical Use

• Respect the GitHub Copilot terms of service.
• Minimize the use of the models for non-coding purposes.
• Be mindful of the risk of being banned by GitHub Copilot for misuse.

🏃‍♂️ How to Run

1. Get the refresh token

   A refresh token is used to get the access token. This token should never be shared with anyone :). You can get the refresh token by following the steps below:

   • Run the following command and note down the returned device_code and user_code.:

   # 01ab8ac9400c4e429b23 is the client_id for the VS Code
   curl https://github.com/login/device/code -X POST -d 'client_id=01ab8ac9400c4e429b23&scope=user:email'

   • Open https://github.com/login/device/ and enter the user_code.

   • Replace YOUR_DEVICE_CODE with the device_code obtained earlier and run:

   curl https://github.com/login/oauth/access_token -X POST -d 'client_id=01ab8ac9400c4e429b23&scope=user:email&device_code=YOUR_DEVICE_CODE&grant_type=urn:ietf:params:oauth:grant-type:device_code'

   • Note down the access_token starting with gho_.

2. Install and run copilot_more

   git clone https://github.com/jjleng/copilot-more.git
   cd copilot-more
   # install dependencies
   poetry install
   # run the server. Replace gho_xxxxx with the refresh token you got in the previous step. Note, you can use any port number you want.
   REFRESH_TOKEN=gho_xxxxx poetry run uvicorn copilot_more.server:app --port 15432

✨ Magic Time

Now you can connect Cline or any other AI client to http://localhost:15432 and start coding with the power of GPT-4o and Claude-3.5-Sonnet without worrying about the cost. Note, the copilot-more manages the access token, you can use whatever string as API keys if Cline or the AI tools ask for one.

🤔 Limitation

The GH Copilot models sit behind an API server that is not fully compatible with the OpenAI API. You cannot pass in a message like this:

    {
      "role": "user",
      "content": [
        {
          "type": "text",
          "text": "<task>\nreview the code\n</task>"
        },
        {
          "type": "text",
          "text": "<task>\nreview the code carefully\n</task>"
        }
      ]
    }

copilot-more takes care of this limitation by converting the message to a format that the GH Copilot API understands. However, without the type, we cannot leverage the models' vision capabilities, so that you cannot do screenshot analysis.
